Image of BRONZE – Unicef Rights Award!

We are very happy to announce that Chorlton High School has officially been given the BRONZE – Rights Committed award from Unicef. 


To gain our BRONZE award, we organised and ran a number of events across our school in which the ‘Rights of the Child’ were explored:

  • Have Your Say Day – Rights Ambassadors developed and delivered a whole school questionnaire
  • Rights Ambassadors Training – all ambassadors had training on the ‘Rights of the Child’ and the ways they could launch this drive in Year assemblies
  • School Assemblies – In Years 7, 8, 9 and 10 our Rights Ambassadors launched the Rights Respecting Schools Award to their peers

In the first week of term all of our staff took part in a whole school training event to introduce the Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA) and explore the ways we can all embed these 'Rights' throughout our school. Teaching staff were also asked to make short, medium and long term personal pledges on ways to to incorporate thinking about 'Rights' in lessons and across curriculum areas.

Our Student Rights Ambassadors brilliantly helped to facilitate this session and their passion and enthusiasm were both extremely impressive and infectious. Moving forward, we now have tremendous momentum as we prepare our detailed action plan to achieve the SILVER award.

Upcoming 'Rights Respecting' events will include: •Rights Review Day – During lessons our Rights Ambassadors will be discussing any 'Rights' that are being actively talked about or signposted.

  • Rights Ambassadors  – All ambassadors will be approaching departments with ideas and creative ways to further explore the 'Rights' of students.
  • A Right to Talk – This project will provide parents with details about a specific 'Right'. We will forward weblinks and videos to stimulate discussion at home about the many aspects and important elements of that 'Right', along with questions to delve deeper into the importance of that 'Right' and of those children in the world not experiencing it.
