  • WE ARE A SILVER UNICEF RIGHTS AWARE SCHOOL

Rights Respecting Schools

Allens Croft Nursery School has achieved the Bronze and Silver Rights Respecting School, awards by Unicef.

Unicef is the world's leading organisation working for children and their rights. The Rights Respecting Schools Award is granted to schools that show commitment to promoting and realising children's rights and encouraging adults, children and young people to respect the rights of others in school.

Unicef works with schools in the UK to create safe and inspiring places to learn, where children are respected, their talents are nurtured and they are able to thrive. Our Rights Respecting Schools Award embeds these values in daily school life and gives children the best chance to lead happy, healthy lives and to be responsible, active citizens.

At Allens Croft we have been working together to learn about children's rights. Children learn about rights everyday in lots of ways. We have looked at lots of different rights and discussed how these are important and how they affect all children. We have also focused on our Nursery Charter which is,
 
The right to play and rest Article 31
The right to learn (Education) Article 28
and the Right to be Safe  Article 24

The Convention has 54 articles that cover all aspects of a child’s life and set out the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights that all children everywhere are entitled to. It also explains how adults and governments must work together to make sure all children can enjoy all their rights.

Every child has rights, whatever their ethnicity, gender, religion, language, abilities or any other status.

The Convention must be seen as a whole: all the rights are linked and no right is more important that another. The right to relax and play (Article 31) and the right to freedom of expression (Article 13) have equal importance as the right to be safe from violence (Article 19) and the right to education (Article 28).
