  Mon 07 Mar 2022

  At a parent’s suggestion, Alaw Primary School will show our support for Ukraine on Friday 11th March, by wearing blue or yellow. This can be on socks, tops, hats etc. 

  If you wish, you can also donate a £1 which will be donated to the UNICEF Ukraine fund. Further details are available in the link below. As part of our work as a Rights Respecting School, we fully support the work of UNICEF in our world, especially now in these tragic times. 

  All school funds raised will be donated to UNICEF. 

  Thank you for your support, as always.

• Article 29 - the goals of education.

  Thu 06 Jan 2022

  Happy New Year and welcome to the first Article of the Week of 2022! We're using the theme of New Year and the resolutions we sometimes make to revisit Article 29 which is all about the goals of education. Education must develop every child’s personality, talents and abilities to the full. We hope our children will enjoy all of the activities which they will encounter as they will help us think about what they want to achieve this year and how can their education help them in this. As well as being ambitious, it’s also important to be kind to ourselves in this process. So, classes will be kicking off the term with exploring the OutRight resources on mental health to support our learners.

• Article 14

  Thu 09 Dec 2021

  December is an important month for several religions with people across the UK celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa amongst other holidays and festivals. Next week the children will have the opportunity to explore Article 14 which ensures children freedom of thought, belief and religion. 
  
  Every child has the right to think and believe what they choose and to practise their religion, as long as they are not stopping other people from enjoying their rights.
  Our children will have the chance  to think about all the different beliefs and faiths in our school, have respectful discussions exploring different views and celebrate the wonderful diversity of all our thoughts and beliefs. 

• Peace School Level 2!

  Sun 26 Sep 2021

  We did it! We gained our Peace Schools status! Jumping straight to Level 2! This has been a whole school project under the umbrella of Rights Respecting Schools. The Peace School ethos is evident in our learning on rights, our school values, how our pupils work in groups to negotiate disagreements, our Restorative Approaches to positive behaviour, understanding citizenship so that pupils understand their voices need to be heard and our work in assemblies. A significant part has also been within the curriculum where the pupils have focused on positive role models, challenged stereotypes and learnt about key peace figures. Fantastic news! Thank you to the pupils, staff and outside visitors who have helped us on our journey.
