Tile Cross Academy is a Rights Respecting School:

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. The Award recognises a school’s achievement in putting the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child into practice within the school and beyond.

What are some of the articles?

Article 12: Every child has the right to say what they think

in all matters affecting them and to have their views taken seriously.

What is the role of the Student Ambassadors and Pioneers?

The student ambassadors and pioneers work collaboratively to maintain a school ethos. They are committed to building a school community where equality, dignity, respect, non‑discrimination, and participation are at the heart of everything we do. Our role is to empower every child to understand, enjoy, and exercise their rights and to champion the rights of others both locally and globally.
