Lyme Achieves Level 1 Rights Respecting School status.
Date: 28th Jun 2017 @ 7:37am
Dear Mrs Cribb,
Achievement of Level 1
Thank you so much for hosting my colleague’s visit to your school last week and for making her so welcome. I saw Pat the following day and it was clear that she had thoroughly enjoyed the time she spent with you and were impressed by the way in which the Convention on the Rights of the Child is being brought to life in your school community.
Congratulations to all the pupils and adults of Lyme Community Primary School on achieving Level 1 of Unicef’s
Rights Respecting Schools Award
Please find attached your Level 1 assessment report which provides highlights of some of the great practice seen during the visit and offers a reminder of the steps suggested to support you in progressing to full RRS status at Level 2.
You will shortly receive an email from our London office which carries the official Level 1 logo. You can use this around school, on your letterheads and on your website. Your certificate will be printed and sent in the post. Please let me know if either does not arrive.
We will also add your school to the list of schools on our website that have achieved Level 1 – please let me know if you do not wish us to do that.
Well done again on achieving Level 1 and please pass on the thanks and congratulations of Unicef to all concerned. Particular thanks to Jo and her team of adults and children who have done so much to support this achievement.
With congratulations and best wishes,
Martin Russell
Senior Professional Adviser RRSA

Kids Take Over! New Student teachers deliver Global Awareness lessons.
Date: 16th Jun 2017 @ 3:37pm
Our Rights Respecting Steering group put many hours of planning and thought into the lessons they delivered in classes this week. It all paid off because the overwhelming response from our students was that they thought their lessons were brilliant. They listened to every word, completed the activities and learned lots in a fun way.
We'll definitely be repeating this experiment again.
