Anderton Park Primary School
What do we do as a Rights Respecting School?
The 10 rights that the school feel are the most important are a thread running through each child’s learning journey and teachers will focus on these when planning and delivering lessons in all subjects.
- Teachers embed children's rights and global issues within the curriculum. This encourages our children to become global citizens who are fully aware of their rights and explore the rights of other children in the world who unfortunately are not able to access all of their rights.
- The difference between wants and needs is discussed in school so that children respect children’s rights appropriately.
- Assemblies remind children of their rights and how we can respect them in our everyday lives at school.
- Every class has two Rights Respecting School Councillors to voice the views of their peers. Every half term, these councillors meet after talking to their class, to share and discuss issues or thoughts. Once all of the councillors agree on the principal ideas, the councillors discuss these further with the appropriate duty bearers in school (e.g. headteacher, deputy headteacher, school subject leads, school cooks etc.) and decide upon a plan of action.
- Every half term, we take part in a range of local, national and international fundraising activities and explore where the money raised goes and how we can make a difference in the world.
