Rights Respecting School Award
At Cleveden, working with UNICEF UK, we have started our journey to become a Rights Respecting School. UNICEF is the world’s leading organisation that works for and promotes children’s rights. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is an important agreement made by governments worldwide to uphold and protect children’s rights.

To support Cleveden's journey, to become a Rights Respecting School, we are promoting an 'Article' each week. Below are the power point presentations that we are using to increase awareness and understanding:
A Rights Respecting School is a school where children and young people’s rights are respected, promoted and protected by everyone.
The Rights Respecting School Award involves staff and young people:
- Teaching and learning: ABOUT the rights set out in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
- Teaching and learning: THROUGH rights so that everyone respects the rights of others.
- Teaching and learning: FOR the rights of others so that we stand up for rights and help make our school, our local and global community a fairer place.
We have already achieved success! Very quickly after embarking on the programme all the good practice we currently are doing to ensure the rights of our young people are adhered to has been recognised and we achieved Bronze accreditation.

Since then, however, we have moved on and recently we were successfully in achieving the Silver award. This was done by looking deeper into the conventions of the Rights of the Child and fully embedding them within our policies, daily practice and culture/ethos of our school.
