Headteacher James Levett was one of the teachers who visited Cape Breton on the Hampshire study visit in 2002. He and AST Sam Francis are keen advocates of Hampshire's Rights, Respect and Responsibility (RRR) approach.

James said, “The shared language of rights, respect and responsibility provides a structure for all discussion and is enshrined as the overriding core value of the school. Staff and adults in all positions have said it helps resolve behaviour problems and provides a shared language and values framework. The emphasis on discussion and respect impacts on children's ability to express themselves in language.

“Knowing about their rights gives children the vocabulary to express what is on their minds and resolve conflicts. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) provides a framework by which pupils can see how they relate to the rest of the world, and that they can have an impact.”

When Tony Blair made his ‘Respect’ speech Year 6 children were featured in the BBC politics show as a result. This led them to write letters to Tony Blair, the Queen and Ruth Kelly about how they have respect in their school. They articulated what working in an RRR school meant for them and their place in the world.
