Rights Respecting

School

At Green Gates Primary School, we always
encourage the children to be respectful towards
each other, staff, parents and the local community.
With this in mind, we are proud to have become a
Gold ‘Rights Respecting School’.

UNICEF is the world’s leading organisation working
for children and their rights. In 1989, governments
worldwide promised all children the same rights by
adopting the UN Convention on the Rights of the
Child. These rights are based on what a child needs
to survive, grow, participate and fulfil their
potential.

Our pupils have learned about their rights by
putting them into practice every day. A Rights
Respecting School models rights and respect in all
its relationships, which helps improve the school
community’s well-being and develop every child’s
talents and abilities to their fullest potential.

Community Links

At Green Gates, we pride ourselves on our links with
the community. We are a charitable school and take
part in various annual events such as Macmillan
Coffee Afternoon, Children in Need and Comic Relief.
Alongside this, we often raise money for lots of local
charities such as SARA and Zoe’s Place.

Our pupils are extremely active within the local
community. We work closely with our local PCSO
who has trained our very own ‘Mini Police Cadets’ as
well as delivering our ‘Good Citizens Programme’.
Our dedicated eco club take part in lots of litter
picks and run whole school events on sustainable
development and how we as a school can help the
environment.
