Every Child Matters (ECM)
Rights and Responsibilities
At Ladybridge High School we believe everyone should benefit from having their rights met and they should understand the responsibilities that come with having rights. Our rules of Fair Play clearly outline what this means. Rules of Fair Play
UNICEF have outlined 42 articles on the rights and responsibilities for every child. These form the base of our values and practices at school. UNICEF rights and responsibilities.

Subject: RE: Fantastic Reading!!
Dear Mrs Brooks-Doogan, thank you for your kind e-mail. We are over the moon with Christopher’s progress, and how he enjoys school.
We are so grateful for you, the school and the time that all the staff are giving our Christopher. From an early stage, we knew that we had made the right choice and the happiness and progress that Chris is making shows what a good school Ladybridge has become.
Chris’s progress just shows what can be done with the right kind of teaching.
Please pass our thanks on to all Christopher’s teachers and support staff.
Kind regards,
