MAIRtrade Fair

Thank You

Thank You to everyone who came to support our MAIRtrade Fair.

I’m sure you will agree it was a huge success as we encourage our pupils to help others.

The children have all worked so hard learning all about Fairtrade and how it helps others. They  were all successful learners as they promoted the use of Fairtade materials to produce all of their crafts and baking.

We are delighted to inform you that we raised the magnificent amount of £670

Have a look at some of our photographs below.
