Fairtrade Ambassadors

We are very proud to be a Fairtrade Active School here at Chudleigh Primary. Our devoted team of Fairtrade ambassadors have written this to explain how we promote Fairtrade in our school and our community.

You may be wondering what Fairtrade means. It means that farmers get paid fairly for what they have produced. This is very important for their communities as they can fund better education for their families and have better working conditions.

We hold a conference every year for other schools to come and learn about different types of Fairtrade products. In 2025 the theme was chocolate and the theme this year was tea. The chocolate was very tasty and the children enjoyed taste testing Fairtrade Ceylon tea! The conference is for Year 5 children and for the year 6 Fairtrade ambassadors to support with too.

We are currently at the 2nd level of Fairtrade, which is called FairActive. We are hoping to become a FairAchiever School which is the 3rd and final level. Some of the ideas we would like to plan in the future to help us reach this are as follows –

A Fairtrade Day

Letters to Supermarkets to increase their Fairtrade products

Letters to Co-op to say thankyou for providing lots of Fairtrade products in their stores

Fairtrade challenges with bringing Fairtrade snacks

Collecting Fairtrade stickers/packets to look at how many products we all use.
