EARA – Equalities and Rights Advocates

blankWhat is EARA?

EARA stands for Equalities and Rights Advocates. This means that we want to;

  • help raise awareness and protect children’s rights.
  • make sure children’s voices are heard
  • promote equality in and around our school
  • ensure children’s rights are embeded within our curriclum projects.

Our EARA team have identified these rights to focus on for our Autumn 1 projects:
