We are proud to annonce that Chorlton Park is now a Gold Rights respecting School
Strengths of the school include:
- a good and secure knowledge of rights across the school community and children use the language underpinning rights in a mature and reflective way.
- a strong and enthusiastic commitment to children's rights and to RRSA from leaders at all levels, tied into the vision and values of the school.
- A clear strategic approach to embedding children's rights in school life with the Convention serving aas a driver for school improvement.
- A school with inclusion at it's heart, where pupils feel safe and secure and understand the importance of knowing about children's rights, the difference this makes to their lives and their desire and determination to help realise these rights for others.

The rights ambassadors are the drivers for delivering children’s opinions across the school. A pupil said: “The ambassadors make sure we get our rights”.
What is a UNICEF Rights Respecting School?
Together young people and the school community learn about children’s rights, putting them into practice every day. It 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

The year 5 and 6 ambassadors spoke with KS2 and KS1 during an assembly to show them what their rights to an opinion means. We were very impressed with their knowledge and understanding of what this should like and how children must use their voice.
Our ambassadors found out what our other termly rights look like at Chorlton Park…
