Article of the Week
During the national lockdown, we used ‘Article of the Week’ to continue our Rights Respecting work at home. This included exploring article 28 – the right to an education, article 7 –the right to a name and identity and article 24 – the right to health care, along with many more. Please see below the fantastic work the pupils at English Martyrs’ created during the lockdown.
World Children's Day / 30th Anniversary of the CRC
20.11.2019
On this day in 1989 something incredible happened. Against the backdrop of a changing world order leaders came together and made an historic commitment to children - they promised to protect and fulfill the rights of every child. English Martyrs' spent the day celebrating in their phases.
The fantastic work completed by our pupils on World Children's Day!
Our Class Charters
Every class has their own class charter. This is a visual document that establishes a set of rights-based principles that the teachers and children have agreed on for the classroom. Our class charters help us to understand our rights, how we can respect each other's rights and how duty bearers (adults) can help us to enjoy our rights!
