Langley Moor Primary School
RRSA - Rights Respecting School award
We are a gold level school.
At Langley Moor Primary School, we hold the 'Gold Level' school in the UNICEF Rights Respecting Schools Award.
UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund) is the organisation working specifically for children and their rights. Its mission is to campaign for the protection of children’s rights, in order to meet children’s basic needs and empower them to realise their full potential.
UNICEF UK believes that these values should be embedded in the ethos and curriculum of our schools, and provides a framework in order to accomplish this. This is the purpose of the RRSA (Rights Respecting School Award).
In a rights respecting school, children learn to associate rights with needs and distinguish between their rights and ‘wants’. They learn that if they have rights, they need to respect the rights of others.

Some exciting RRSA features in our school:
Our School Charters
In school, each class has developed a Classroom Charter, using the rights which are important to them. We also have a Whole School Charter, a Lunchtime Charter, Home/school Charter and a Playground Charter.
Rights Respecting Superhero
As part of our Children in Need day, the children designed a 'Rights Respecting Superhero.' The superhero had to have different superpowers, to ensure children were having their rights respected. The Global Committee chose the winning superhero, from over 100 pictures!
Here was the winning picture, well done!

The school voted her name should be 'All Rights Rose.' She has become our RRSA logo in school. She has even been made into a real life doll, thanks to Mrs Dawson, and travels around different classes, ensuring children respect their rights!
'Rights walk'
Each year, our Global Committee and RRSA steering group complete a 'rights walk' around the school.
They use our Rights Respecting superhero, on a 'Rights Card' which they designed, to identify where our 'Rights' are being 'respected,' around school. The Global Committee are fantastic at finding the different 'Rights' and tell the children about their walk, during assemblies.
Here are some photos of our most recent walk:
Lunchtime and playground charters:
The Global Committe have worked together to create a Lunchtime and Playground Charter. These are to keep children safe in the playground and in the dinner hall.
Now we are renewing the gold level of our award, the Global Committee felt they needed to change a few things on the Outdoor charter - please see the new one below.
