Rights Respecting Schools
Unicef is the world’s leading organisation working for children and their rights. All their work is guided by the United Nations Convention on the rights of the Child (UNCRC).
The Unicef UK Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA) is about schools embedding children’s rights in their ethos and culture. A rights respecting school is a community where children’s rights are learned, taught, practised, respected, protected and promoted. Venturers’ Academy is proud to be a part of this and we are working towards achieving this award. Already we have the Bronze Award, Recognition of Commitment and we are now working towards the Silver Award – Rights Aware.
You can find out more about the award on the Unicef UK website:

This will have a hugely positive impact on our ethos and culture and we are very excited about the journey ahead of us. Look out for further information and news in the coming months!
