Article 12: Every child has the right to have a say in all matters affecting them, and to have their views taken seriously.
Article 31: Leisure, play and culture - Every child has the right to relax, play and take part in a wide range of cultural and artistic activities.
We are a Unicef Rights Respecting School. The Rights Respecting School Award puts children's rights at the heart of schools in the UK.
We aim to be a safe and inspiring place to learn, where children are respected, their talents and nurtured and they are able to thrive.
The Rights Respecting Schools Award embeds these values in daily school life at Oscott Manor School and gives children the best chance to lead happy, healthy lives and to be responsible, active citizens.
Key Stage 5
In Key Stage 5 (Year 12, 13 and 14), we are preparing pupils to be as independent as possible.
The curriculum builds on knowledge and skills learned in Key Stage 4 and enables positive outcomes to all pupils. We offer a wide range of accreditation routes so that all of our pupils can gain recognised qualifications. Pupils engage in offsite learning opportunities to help them build confidence and employability skills.
Note: This page is being updated with new curriculum info.
