Rights Respecting School - Gold

We started our Rights Respecting School Award (RRSA) journey in August 2019. Laxdale pupils and staff worked hard throughout session 2019-20 to raise the profile of ‘Children’s Rights’ throughout the school. Our hard work was recognised when we were awarded our Silver Award, after a virtual assessment, in June 2020. In June 2024 we were awarded our Gold Award after a virtual accreditation.

The RRSA is all about creating safe and inspiring places to learn, where children are respected, their talents are nurtured and they are able to thrive. As a Rights Respecting School, we strive to embed these values into daily school life to give children the best chance to lead happy, healthy lives and to be responsible, active citizens.
