Rights Respecting Schools

Work on becoming a Rights Respecting School started in the autumn term 2022. The Cwmdar Rights Respecting Council was established and started meeting this Autumn in 2023.  Mrs Evans introduced the award to the children, staff and governors in November and we regularly have rights assemblies.  The council will complete a RAG survey in the Summer term to help inform our silver action plan.  The children have lots of ideas and set their first targets in the Autumn term which, they were tickled pink to achieve. The Ambassadors have now set new targets for the Spring and Summer.

We also discussed installation of a bike track for the younger children. A new classroom pod will be also be installed in the summer term. All projects will be funded through grant funding.
