Fairtrade Representatives

Fairtrade has long had a high profile at Sheddingdean and we have been a Fairtrade school for a number of years now. This means that both pupils and teachers hear about and are actively involved in the learning, awareness and promotion of Fairtrade. Our Fairtrade representatives are a very important part of this. They are chosen from Years 6, 5 and 4 – 6 pupils in total. They join the school’s Fairtrade committee made up of members of the senior leadership team and other staff. This committee meets twice a term. It is the Fairtrade representatives who drive all the activities in school, suggesting ideas and leading assemblies. The aim is for 100% pupil awareness of what Fairtrade is and why it’s important. Pupils know they are part of something that is happening all over the country and around the world -and it’s great fun too!
