In 2023, Plat Douet School achieved the Rights Respecting School Silver Award.  This was awarded to our school community by UNICEF UK as we showed that we are committed to creating a safe and inspiring place to learn, where children are respected, nurtured and able to thrive.   

Silver: Rights Aware is the second stage of the Rights Respecting Schools Award. 

We are on our journey towards Gold now and working to further embed the rights of the child throughout our policies, practice and whole school ethos

· It sets out 54 articles that cover all aspects of a child’s life.
