Fairtrade
At present we are working towards becoming a fairtrade school. There are three levels of award which can be achieved; Fairaware, Fairactive and Fairachiever. We are hoping to achieve our Fairaware award very soon. Already we have completed our Fairtrade audit and the teachers have done their's as well.
Our next steps are:-
We have started our Fairtrade Learning Challenge, our topic for this will be - What is Fairtrade, how does it work and what impact does it have. Currently we are researching this and preparing a presentation on it. Some of us have chosen to create our own website, where we will show all that we have learnt about Fairtrade, as well as learning the skills needed in making your own website.
We will also be organising events to take place during Fairtrade fortnight - this takes place from the 23rd of February until the 8th of March 2015. More details of this, can be found here.

Eco Schools
We are proud to have received our 4th Eco Flag. We are currently working towards renewing this in June 2015. The children have decided on what they would like to find out about and what action they would like to take.
Pupil Voice
The children set the agenda for this and lead the meeting all by themselves. It is an excellent way for the children to understand about meetings and taking turns for talking, as well as respecting other's opinions.
