Aston Manor Academy is incredibly excited to have been awarded Bronze status as part of UNICEF’s Rights Respecting Award. This is the first stage of our journey in working towards Gold over the coming academic years. Taking part in this award ensures that our core ethos of all different, all equal, all achieving links closely with the Rights Respecting award and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. This award provides further support in ensuring our students’ confidence in talking about their rights and living them day to day is strengthened further. In order to achieve Bronze status we have strengthened our student leadership team, delivered form time sessions on the award, supported staff with initial training on the RRA, and liaised with governors, the senior leadership team and parents. Please see below for information on the award from UNICEF.

The UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) 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.
