Class charters

Congratulations to our new RRSA Team representatives for 2024-2025.

Meath School is proud to be a Silver “Rights Respecting School“. This is the second highest award given to schools by UNICEF, a leading organisation for children and their rights. This means that our children are rights aware and this is embedded in our school’s practice and ethos. We put children’s rights at the heart of our school. We work alongside UNICEF 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 School 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.

Each class has developed its own charter which sets out the rights respecting actions expected for everybody in the class in order to protect the rights of the people in the class. Take a look at some of them below.

Our Rights Respecting Council Members are a group of children from across the school who work to ensure that all members of our school community are made aware of the rights afforded to them through UNCRC. They also ensure that DPS respect  the rights of others, making our school a happier, safer and more respectful place to learn and work.

A rights-respecting  school not only teaches about children’s rights, but also models rights and respect in all its relationships between adults and children, between children themselves, and between adults themselves.
