Pupil Rights

The Children’s Commissioner for Wales is there to make sure that all children and young people in Wales find out about their rights. These rights are the things that children need to be safe, healthy and happy. The United Nations has a list of all the rights that children have. As a school we have decided to focus on the following rights. This list is part of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, or UNCRC for short.
