RIGHTS RESPECTING
The United Nations Convention On The
Rights Of The Child – The Children’s Version
Dear Parents and Carers,
We are delighted to share our wonderful news with you all…
GLADE PRIMARY SCHOOL HAS BEEN RE-ACCREDITED AS A UNICEF ‘GOLD’ RIGHTS RESPECTING SCHOOL!
UNICEF is the world’s leading organisation working for children and their rights. 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. The 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. This 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.
Gold is the highest accolade given by UNICEF UK and shows a deep and thorough commitment to children’s rights at all levels of school life.
As you know, we work very hard to support our children to understand, appreciate and uphold their own rights and that of other children, through discussions, assemblies, use of class charters, campaigns for change and a wide range of daily activities.
The UNCRC is at the heart of all that we do at Glade and we are proud to be a school that has been acknowledged to be at the highest level (Gold) for the second time running. What an amazing achievement for our special school community.
THANK YOU to you all: children, parents, carers, staff, governors, external agency partners, for contributing to what makes Glade shine. The assessor was highly impressed and very vocal in her praise when she gave us feedback. It was quite emotional hearing what she had to say. Her written report is very complimentary, highlighting all that we value at the school. She even wants to use Glade as an example of what a school with a good rights-respecting ethos looks like!
What is not a surprise, is that the voice of the children is loud and clear within the report and this only exemplifies how much we value their contributions on a daily basis. Please make the time to read the report and take credit for your contribution in making our children the global citizens they are becoming. We could not ask for better working partnerships with our families and we are so grateful to each and every one of you.
Thank you one again.

Glade Primary school in Clayhall, Redbridge
receives prestigious Unicef UK Gold Award
You will be delighted to hear that Glade Primary school has been awarded Gold by Unicef UK’s Rights Respecting School programme.
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. Gold is the highest accolade given by Unicef UK and shows a deep and thorough commitment to children’s rights at all levels of school life. There are over 400 schools across England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales that have received Gold.
The school has been working with Unicef UK since September 2017. They received their Silver certificate in July 2018. The Steering Group will be presenting a special assembly to mark this wonderful achievement on Wednesday 25th September at 9:05am and will exhibit the Gold certificate and banner. All parents and carers are most welcome to attend.
Mrs Hussain, our new head teacher, commented: “We are very proud to be a Rights Respecting school. The ‘Rights Respecting Award’ helps our children grow into thoughtful, respectful and responsible young members of the school. By learning about their rights, our children also learn about the importance of respecting the rights of others and how to contribute positively to the wider community.
A big thank you to Mrs. Jain and the Article 12 group for leading this award process by putting children’s rights at the heart of the curriculum.”
The Award recognises achievement in putting the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child at the heart of a school’s planning, policies and practice. A Rights Respecting School is a community where children’s rights are learned, taught, practised, respected, protected and promoted. Unicef UK Rights Respecting Schools Gold Assessor, Anita Haigh, said: It is evident that children’s rights are embedded across the school and underpin every facet of school life.
Particular strengths of the school include:
-
Secure knowledge and understanding of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).
-
A clear strategic commitment to the principles and values of the CRC.
-
A supportive and inclusive ethos based on mutually respectful relationships.
-
Strong pupil voice and leadership.
-
A proactive stance to engage with parents and the wider local community.
The Unicef UK Rights Respecting Schools initiative is aimed at schools across the UK, including those in an early years setting. This year the programme has received additional support from The People’s Postcode Lottery. This vital funding is helping Unicef UK continue its work with over 4500 primary schools, secondary schools, schools for children and young people with special educational needs and pupil referral units across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Schools have reported a positive impact on pupil behaviour, relationships and well-being by enhancing pupil’s self-esteem, leading to less truancy and bullying, better learning and improved academic standards.
