  A somewhat pale zebra was today spotted making his way from Marwell Zoo to Newlands Primary.

  These photos show him clambering into Mrs Broderick's car whilst she was visiting the zoo.

• Rights Respecting Schools Award

  Mon 07 Sep 2015
  We are delighted to announce that we are working towards becoming a UNICEF Rights Respecting School.

  The Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA) recognises achievement in putting the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) at the heart of a school’s planning, policies, practice and ethos.

  A rights-respecting school not only teaches about children’s rights but also models rights and respect in all its relationships: between teachers / adults and pupils, between adults and between pupils.

  It also helps our children understand and appreciate that we are global citizens living in a wider world with different communities and lifestyles.

  The rights we have decided to really focus on this year are:

   

  Article 12 - Right to respect the views of the child

   

  Article 24 - Right to be healthy and safe

   

  Article 28 - Right to an education
