Always striving, no matter what the obstacles
It doesn't matter how slowly you go as long as you don't give up
A little love and support can take you a long way
If you can dream it, you can do it!
Strength lies in differences, not in similarities
Make the most of each moment - have fun!
Treat others the way you would like to be treated
Rights Respecting
William Bellamy is proud to announce that they are a Unicef Rights Respecting Bronze School. The school is continuing their Rights Respecting journey with the aim of achieving Silver Status this year (2020).
“Unicef works with schools in the UK to create safe and inspiring places to learn, where children are respected, their talents are nurtured and they are able to thrive. Our Rights Respecting Schools Award embeds these values in daily school life and gives children the best chance to lead happy, healthy lives and to be responsible, active citizens.” – Unicef UK.
What do we do as a Rights Respecting School?
- Children’s rights are embedded across the curriculum so that all children are fully aware of their rights.
- Children are encouraged to become global citizens who help campaign for change so that all children across the world are able to access their rights.
- We take part in Unicef’s annual youth campaign Outright, that empowers young people and children to speak out about children’s rights.
- Article of the Month is displayed in all classrooms and discussed in assembly times.
- Each class create their own Class Charter, where children choose the 5 most relevant rights that they feel should be respected in their classroom. This is signed and upheld by children and adults.
- We have a steering group that meet to discuss how we can work towards our Rights Respecting Award goals.
- Our behaviour policy in Key Stage Two has been amended to work more cohesively alongside Rights Respecting Award.
- Display boards include related rights.
- Rights are displayed in appropriate areas around school.
- We receive monthly postcards from Paddington.
