Craigdhu Primary School in Milngavie has been re-accredited as a Gold Rights Respecting School by UNICEF, maintaining the highest level of recognition in the scheme. The school first achieved gold in August 2021 and has now retained the award by continuing to embed children's rights throughout its policies and practice.

Craigdhu Primary has progressed through bronze, silver and gold levels since registering with the programme. For its re-accreditation, UNICEF praised the school's work on diversity and its enquiry-based learning approach, which connects to the UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development. The school was also highlighted as a case study within UNICEF UK resources for teachers.

Counsellor Lynda Williamson, convener of education, said both staff and pupils had shown 'unwavering dedication' to incorporating children's rights within the school's values, vision and nurturing behavioural policy, and commended the whole school's commitment to sustainability and celebrating diversity.
