How we process and respond to our experiences affects our mental health and emotional well-being.

Having an awareness of our own feelings and emotions is the foundation upon which empathy can be developed.

Rights Respecting School

We are working towards achieving Bronze in becoming a Rights Respecting school.

UNICEF and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. 

Unicef is the world’s leading organisation for children and their rights. To achieve Bronze, pupils at Cefn Cribwr Primary School will understand some of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The RRSA (Rights Respecting Schools Award) seeks to put the Convention at the heart of a school’s ethos and culture to improve well-being and develop every child’s talents and abilities to their full potential.

What impact does RRSA have on children?

- Improved self-esteem and feelings of being valued and listened to.

- Increased levels of respect for each other, leading to improved relationships with other pupils and with staff.

- An understanding and respect of religions, culture, beliefs and abilities different to their own.

- A wider and deeper understanding of the world in which they live.

We have a steering group in Cefn Cribwr Primary School made up of pupils from each class who meet regularly and ensure the whole school is aware of the Rights Respecting Schools Award.
