Student Rights and Responsibilities

At Accrington Academy, all students are valued as individuals within a safe, secure and stimulating learning environment. We believe that every individual is important and has a right to:

• A supportive learning environment which is safe, secure and stimulating and in which all people are valued as individuals and where the environment and personal possessions are treated with respect
• An outstanding educational provision that is appropriate to the individual's needs
• Learning activities and opportunities, at a personalised level, that match and provide challenges, encouraging students to achieve and make progress
• Opportunities to develop confidence as a learner, in order to develop well informed attitudes and opinions.

Together with these rights, we must all share in a responsibility to:

• Treat others as we would wish to be treated, with good manners and respect
• Work hard to achieve our personal potential
• Act in a manner that does not prevent others from learning
• Express opinions in a manner which is socially acceptable, does not offend others and acknowledges that those of differing opinions can live in harmony with each other.
