Rights Respecting Schools
The Unicef UK Rights Respecting School Award (RRSA) is based on principles of equality, dignity, respect, non-discrimination and participation. The RRSA seeks to put the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child 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. A Rights Respecting School is a community where children’s rights are learned, taught, practised, respected, protected and promoted.
Stone Bay has been awarded the Silver Award by UNICEF. This is awarded to UK to schools that show good progress towards embedding children’s rights in the school’s policy, practice and ethos, as outlined in the RRSA Strands and Outcomes
Staff wellbeing
The Leadership Team and the Governing Board of Stone Bay School are committed to promoting positive mental, physical and emotional wellbeing and to providing suitable support for all staff. Taking action to prevent ill health and promote good health makes good educational and business sense, as sickness absence carries high costs both in monetary terms and in terms of the impact upon performance, teaching and learning, morale and
productivity, which may disrupt or compromise pupil progress.
All members of staff are entitled to be treated fairly and professionally at all times. The Governing Board of Stone Bay School takes very seriously its duty of care as an employer to all members of staff and a number of policies and procedures have been made in relation to this duty.

There is a fast-flowing stream, look for the stepping stones! We will find our way.
What will we discover? What will we find? What will we take with us and keep forever?
Our curiosity grows. We gain confidence with each step, feeling braver and stronger,
Wow, we can do it now, we are so proud, let’s celebrate! We will always remember this journey and the friendships along the way.
