We are delighted to announce that St Mungo's Academy has achieved the highest level of the Unicef Rights Respecting Schools award; we are a GOLD level school. The Unicef assessor was hugely impressed with our work on placing Children's Rights at the heart of what we do. The assessor highlighted a number of key strengths.
- It was evident that children's rights are embedded across the school and underpin every facet of school life.
- Pupils understand how their rights are connected within school life, to Catholic values, and to their local and global community.
- A strong commitment to children's rights from leaders at all levels with training and support for staff.
- The caring and nurturing ethos of the school, where the values of dignity and respect are lived and valued by students and their parents/carers.
- Strong pupil participation, with students involved in decision-making and leadership in different areas of school life.
This year our Staff and Pupils will be maintaining our commitment to children's rights by focusing on the following areas:
- Continue to make rights visible across the curriculum and in projects.
- Help young people to become familiar with concepts of dignity and equity, and how these are shown in school life.
- Support students to challenge injustice through campaigning on issues related to children's rights.
