On 14th November 2024, the Department for Sports, Media and Culture had their first meeting with other members of the Forward as One Pupil Advisory Board. This meeting took place via zoom. In the meeting, the children discussed the meaning of the words Sport (exercise, teams, competition, fitness), Media (television, radio, newspapers, the internet) and Culture (music, theatre, reading, museums, art).
We discussed that members of the board would be learning more about Article 31 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) which states that children have the right to relax, play and take part in a wide range of cultural and artistic activities.
The children have shared this right (Article 31) with the school during an assembly and have completed a questionnaire to find out the pupils' thoughts on how this right is met at All Saints'. The pupils have also been invited to create posters or presentations sharing how they believe that staff at All Saints' meet this right for the children.
The link teachers for the Department of Sport, Media and Culture are Miss Duckworth and Miss Harrison.
