THE RIGHT SPACE

This year, St Cuthbert's RC Primary School will be awarded a ‘Silver: Rights Aware’ Rights Respecting Schools Award which is granted by Unicef UK to schools that show good progress towards embedding children’s rights in the school’s policy, practice and ethos. Inspired by this achievement and in collaboration with MSA's 1st, 2nd and 5th-year students, The Right Space project is aiming to design a recreational space in St. Cuthberts Primary School that would encourage interaction and create awareness of ‘Rights of the child’. It is an intervention that provides EDUCATION, ENGAGEMENT and VALUES for all pupils. During the project, we will learn and develop our skills in sketching, drawing, visual rendering, model making and presenting. And we will also improve our ability to cooperate.
