We are thrilled to announce that Foxfield Primary School has achieved the Gold: Rights Respecting accreditation from UNICEF UK's Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA). This recognition is a testament to the school community's commitment to embedding a strong understanding of children's rights. In the summer term, an assessor reviewed our evidence and visited the school as part of the assessment process.

The assessor noted that our "very articulate and passionate children value child rights education, understand how their rights connect to school life, school’s values, and their local and global community." The school's rights-based journey has also positively impacted the learning environment, with children's rights and the UN Sustainable Development Goals explicitly linked to all areas of our work, displays, and across the curriculum to ensure every child receives a rich educational experience.

As a school, we are deeply proud of our caring and nurturing ethos, where dignity and respect create a strong culture of inclusion. The assessor highlighted that children "have a strong sense of fairness and equity," benefiting from an environment where everyone is celebrated, valued, and supported to be the best they can be.

We're also proud to see that our pupils feel empowered. Our confident children know their views are taken seriously, feel listened to, and are actively making a positive difference in the school and the wider world—remaining fully committed to helping realise rights for other children both locally and globally.
