Going for Gold

7th October 2022

Going for Gold.
This year we are gathering evidence and preparing our proposal to apply for UNICEF Gold status. We have been immensely proud to be a Silver Children’s Rights school but due to the CV19 lockdown we were unable to register our interest sooner before the closing date. This year we are ready!
This week the children in each class have fairly elected two representatives to join the
‘Steering Committee’, Our School Values of Confidence, Advocacy and Leadership in action. This group of children will be responsible for sharing news and updates, leading and representing the voice of the child across the school. This role is also combining the Eco Councilors and Pupil Forum this year. It is such a huge responsibility that we agreed this committee should encompass all these aspects to link with our curriculum developments. One strong team to represent our wonderful school.
This means the House Captains will now take on the important responsibility of organising, planning and coordinating any charity event across the school.
The School Values and the ‘Rights’ of all children are discussed and displayed and practiced every day in our school. With this is mind we have decided to have a special “Going for Gold” lunch table every Friday. One child from each class will be chosen to share their lunch with Mrs. Furber. They will be chosen because they demonstrate our School Values and school UNICEF expectations on a daily basis.
We recognise, notice and celebrate those children that demonstrate their best endeavors every day.
"I look forward to Friday lunchtime all week. It is an absolute privilege to share my lunch with such amazing role models. We are all immensely proud of their positive attitude and learning behaviours”. Mrs. Furber
