Aligned with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC)
Kids Academy International School is committed to providing a safe, inclusive and equitable environment where every child feels valued, respected and empowered to thrive. We recognise that belonging is essential to wellbeing, learning and personal development.

This commitment is grounded in the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and is reflected in our policies, practices and daily school life.

Non-Discrimination
Article 2  All children have the right to protection from discrimination.
At Kids Academy, we ensure that no child is disadvantaged because of race, nationality, language, gender, religion, ability, background or family circumstance. We actively remove barriers to participation and learning.

All school policies, admissions decisions, safeguarding measures and curriculum planning are guided by what is in the best interests of the child.

Right to Be Heard

We provide high-quality teaching and differentiated support to ensure equitable access to learning for all students.

Protection and Safety
Article 19 - Children have the right to be protected from harm.
Our safeguarding policies, wellbeing systems, SEN support, and positive behaviour frameworks ensure students feel safe, secure and supported.

Governance and Accountability
The Board directs the Head of School to:
