Jersey school given children's rights award
BBCA Jersey school has been given a United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) award for promoting and realising children's rights.
La Moye School has been reaccredited with a Silver Rights Respecting School Award.
The project is designed to improve children's ability to have their voices heard in education and improve self-esteem.
Silver is given to schools that make excellent progress to make the principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child part of its curriculum and environment.
Head teacher of La Moye School John Baudains said pupils and staff should be proud of this achievement.
He said: "I am delighted that the school's hard work in embedding children's rights has been recognised... the team here are committed to ensuring that this work is connected and interlinked to our academic curriculum and our personal development curriculum."
Baudains added: "During the assessment, the children talked with such passion and deep understanding, which reminded us how far we have come on our journey.
"We are very proud of them all."
