Rights Respecting School
UNICEF Rights Respecting
At Chestnuts, we are proud to be a Rights Respecting School, guided by the principles set out in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). This means we are dedicated to embedding the values of respect, dignity, and fairness into every aspect of school life. We believe that all children have the right to be safe, valued, and heard, and these values are at the core of how we teach, learn, and interact as a community.
Our Rights Respecting ethos encourages students to not only understand their own rights but also to respect the rights of others. Through this, we nurture a sense of responsibility, empathy, and global citizenship, helping students to grow into compassionate, informed individuals who contribute positively to society.
In practice, our school fosters an inclusive environment where every child is encouraged to reach their full potential, supported by a culture of mutual respect and understanding. From the classroom to the playground, we ensure that students are empowered to voice their ideas, opinions, and concerns in a safe and supportive space.
By focusing on rights, we aim to create a community where everyone—students, staff, and parents alike—works together to create a respectful and harmonious environment, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive.
