Fairtrade

Fairtrade at St Peter's

“Fairtrade is really important because it guarantees a good standard of living for those involved in producing the food. As a Catholic school we are committed to helping others and by promoting Fairtrade we can do a lot of good following the example of Christ”

(quote from St Peter’s student)

In order to achieve this we undertake to:

Support the schools’ Fairtrade steering group made up of volunteers from the school community, with at least 50% of the group members being students
Ensure Fairtrade is part of the School Development Plan
Use Fairtrade products wherever possible: tea, coffee, sugar and biscuits in the staffroom and at meetings
In lessons and classrooms where relevant
In the Dining Hall
Encourage those who purchase goods, e.g. sports equipment and uniform to research Fairtrade alternatives and consider swapping, should this be feasible
Ensure Fairtrade products are available wherever possible, for example, at events in the school or the community
To ensure that learning about Fairtrade happens in a range of lessons and in whole school activities
Promote Fairtrade within the school and the wider community particularly during Fairtrade Fortnight
Do something extra each year to promote Fairtrade
