We are absolutely thrilled to tell you that following our assessment visit from Mr Paul Harris of UNICEF, we have been awarded the GOLD LEVEL Rights Respecting School Award! This award is the most prestigious available on the programme and we are very proud to say that we are the first and only Primary School in Essex to achieve this.
We received the Silver Award in March 2017 and have been working towards the Gold Award since then. We could not have reached this point without the hard work of all the staff at Down Hall who have shown great commitment to bringing RRS into the heart of everything we do. The willingness of pupils to take Children's Rights as a frame for learning has been absolutely brilliant, and considering Children's Rights has definitely proved some deeper thinking and understanding from pupils. The support of parents and the wider school community is key and we thank you all for your continued commitment.
The report states that we are, "An outward looking school community where children are engaged in the wider world"
