We are a UNICEF Rights Aware School

We are proud to say that we are now a Silver: Rights Aware School!

What does this mean?

We work with UNICEF every step of the way on our journey to become Rights Respecting. Our staff engage with training, incorporate the rights into lesson plans, guidance when talking to children and, when a school is ready, an assessment is carried out by one of UNICEFs child rights professionals.

What’s more, the bespoke resources help teachers to talk to children of all ages about the big issues facing the world today, from the refugee crisis to climate change.

There are three stages to the Rights Respecting Schools Award. Its transformative and rigorous approach means the journey to the highest stage can take up to four years.

Together young people and the school community learn about children’s rights, putting them into practice every day. The Award is not just about what children do but also, importantly, what adults do. In Rights Respecting Schools children’s rights are promoted and realised, adults and children work towards this goal together.

There are four key areas of impact for children at a Rights Respecting school; wellbeing, participation, relationships and self-esteem.

The difference that a Rights Respecting School makes goes beyond the school gates, making a positive impact on the whole community.

• Children are healthier and happier
• Children feel safe
• Children have better relationships
• Children become active and involved in school life and the wider world

There are 54 articles in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Articles 43 – 54 discuss how governments, and organisations like ours should work to ensure children are protected in their rights.
