Rights Respecting School
Greenfield School and Maes Glas are a Rights Respecting School. This means that at Greenfield and Maes Glas, we put children’s rights at the forefront of everything which we do. We work with the UK Committee for UNICEF to create a safe and inspiring place to learn, where children are respected, their talents nurtured, encouraged to thrive and to accept equality.
At Greenfield School at Maes Glas, we embed the Rights Respecting values throughout everyday school life, which encourages pupils to have the best chance at leading healthy lives and be responsible, active citizens.
Children’s rights are at the heart of everything that we do. There are four key areas of impact for children at Greenfield School and Maes Glas, which are; Well-being, participation, relationships and self-esteem. These areas help to promote and to develop pupils' Health and Well-being skills.
Currently, Greenfield School and Maes Glas have achieved the Bronze Award, submitted evidence for the Silver Award and is working towards achieving the Gold Award for Rights Respecting Schools.
