Fair Trade Policy
Camelsdale Primary School is proud to be a Fairtrade achiever school for the fifth time, totalling 9 years as an accredited Fairtrade school.
Camelsdale Primary School is committed to the Camelsdale Way and this includes commitment to supporting, using and promoting Fairtrade wherever possible. We believe that Fairtrade can make a difference to the lives of young people throughout the world by improving living and working conditions for the people who grow the things we buy.
Our school will:
• Try to make sure that Fairtrade and Fairtrade issues, and the value of “fairness” are embedded into the curriculum, whole school activities and the culture of the school.
• Promote Fairtrade in school and wider community, by taking part in Fairtrade Fortnight, completing Fairtrade challenges, holding Fairtrade assemblies and highlighting Fairtrade in newsletters and social media.
• Make sure Fairtrade features in our School Improvement Plan.
• Use Fairtrade products around the school wherever possible eg. in the staffroom, ingredients in cooking lessons.
• Explore uniforms made with Fairtrade cotton.
• Use the Fairtrade Awards on our website and stationery.
• Make sure the School Council keeps putting our policy into practice and it is reported back through the curriculum committee of the Governing Body.
