Rights Respecting

The UNICEF UK Rights Respecting Schools Award supports schools across the UK to embed children’s human rights into their ethos and culture.​ The Award recognises achievement in putting the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) at the heart of a school’s practice to improve well-being and outcomes for every child and to help all children realise their potential.


We are very pleased to announce that Gascoigne will be working with UNICEF to ensure that our children's rights are embedded into our Curriculum to form an inclusive, well-respected school community.

Rights Respecting Conference

On Thursday 11th December 2025, our Year 5 and 6 pupils had a wonderful opportunity to participate in the Rights Respecting Conference with local primary and secondary schools in Barking and Dagenham. 

At Gascoigne, we are truly passionate about promoting equality, celebrating diversity and promoting non-discrimination. Our amazing, confident pupils devised and delivered an incredible speech in the Barking Town Hall chamber where their voices were heard by other schools. 

During their speech, our pupils clearly raised awareness of the 'UNCRC Article 2 Non-Discrimination' through sharing their learning in PSHE, their own views and the demonstration chant which was carried out in Year 5, linked to the importance of preventing racism. 

Our Year 5 and 6 representatives were inspirational to all during this incredible event. Well done future leaders!
