Welcome to the Carrick Academy UNICEF Rights Respecting Schools page.
Our journey on the UNICEF path began with us registering for the Bronze award back in 2016.
Early 2017 saw us create a Pupil Steering Group led by two members of staff to go for Silver which would make us a Rights Aware School.
After considerable consultations with staff and pupils we created our school charter. The five articles which most closely fitted our particular ethos in Carrick Academy were chosen and are now displayed throughout the school teaching and public areas.
These are :
ARTICLE 14 FREEDOM OF THOUGHT, BELIEF AND RELIGION
ARTICLE 16 RIGHT TO PRIVACY
ARTICLE 23 CHILDREN WITH A DISABILITY
ARTICLE 28 RIGHT TO EDUCATION
ARTICLE 29 GOALS OF EDUCATION
Pupils from the steering group presented the message of the UNICEF Charter to their peers at school assemblies and answered questions that they may have.

September 2018 saw us ready for the visit by the UNICEF inspector. Staff from all areas of the school met with the inspector and finally he spoke with the Pupil Steering Group. After deciding we met all the criteria he awarded Carrick Academy the Silver Award – Rights Aware.
Our certificate is now on display in our Assembly Room.
