FAIRTRADE SCHOOL STATUS

We are working hard to achieve Fairtrade School Status for Whitehall Primary School from the Fairtrade Foundation. We are doing this because Fairtrade:

• Contributes to making the world a fairer place
• Helps to develop lots of new skills
• Has a positive influence on the school community
• Is part of something that's happening all over the country and around the world
• Encourages critical thinking
• Is fun!

What is Fairtrade?

Fairtrade makes sure that farmers and producer organisations get a fair and stable price for their products to help them support their families and invest in a better future.

As a school we are committed to Fairtrade.

This means that we want to help young people understand about how trade works and how to make global trade fairer. We have set up a steering group, led by Mrs Ayre, which consists of the School Council, the EMAS group and other interested staff. We are all working very hard to achieve the five goals set by the Fairtrade Foundation.
