Phoenix School is a Rights Respecting School.
We implement the UN convention of the rights of the child and ensure that students are taught about their rights.
As adults, it is our responsibility to ensure that we are honouring children's rights at all times, and that we are modelling rights respecting behaviour and values in class and around the school.
All classrooms have visual reinforcement regarding children's rights, and it is important that all staff are aware of this and reinforce this issue through their practice.
We believe it is important for students to achieve their full potential and importance is placed upon achievement at all levels.
There is a caring yet purposeful atmosphere within the school and there is a balance of
focus between welfare and achievement for all. The overall aims for students who attend Phoenix are no different to the aims for those attending mainstream schools. There are however clear differences in terms of resourcing, organisation and the emphasis on social, emotional and academic needs.
At Phoenix, we aim to give all students equality of opportunity and this is clearly stated in our mission statement:
"to offer a positive, life enhancing education, providing opportunities for the development of each individual potential towards a fulfilling adult life".
