World Religions Assembly

Date: 19th Dec 2018 @ 9:53am

This half term, each class has been studying a different world religion. Members of our Rights-Respecting Steering Group led an assembly in which each class shared some of the knowledge they had developed about each faith:

Year 1 - Christianity

Year 2 - Islam

Year 3 - Hinduism

Year 4 - Judaism

Year 5 - Sikhism

Year 6 - Buddhism

The children talked about some of the similarities and differences between the religions.

This links to Article 14 of the UNCRC: Every child has the right to think and believe what they want and to practise their religion as long as they are not stopping others from enjoying their rights.

On Monday, three members of our Rights-Respecting Steering Group led a whole-school assembly to the staff and 420 students at St. Ann's CE Primary School, Rainhill as they begin their rights-respecting journey.

A visit from our local MP

Date: 15th Jun 2018 @ 2:37pm

Before half term we were very lucky to be visited by the MP for St Helens North Conor McGinn. Click here to see our Facebook page and to watch a video of the assembly. Below is the press release about his visit.

I visited Lyme Community Primary School in Earlestown to see the important work they are doing as part of the UNICEF Send My Friend To School campaign.

Pupils at Lyme School act as ambassadors for children’s rights and are part of the Global Campaign for Education which works to ensure education for all children.

The campaign has brought together over twenty charities in the UK alone, and the children at Lyme School are playing their part by raising awareness locally, visiting other schools and distributing the posters they have produced within the community.

It was great to attend the pupils’ special assembly, led by the schools Rights-Respecting steering group and Deputy Head Teacher Mrs Roberts.

The pupils at Lyme School have done brilliant work raising awareness of the importance of education in the world’s poorest countries and it is a testament to their achievements that the school has been awarded silver accreditation for the UNICEF Rights-Respecting Schools Award – and work is underway for the gold standard.

It was a pleasure to meet the pupils and receive the work they have produced and as requested I will be passing it on to the Prime Minister to underline the importance of supporting their work.
