FairActive School Award
Dumfries Academy is the proud recipient of the FairActive School Award from the Fairtrade Foundation. This demonstrates that we are committed to continually promoting the use of FairTrade products both in school and in the wider community.
What is Fairtrade?
The term Fairtrade means that farmers and producers in less economically developed countries receive a fair price for the goods they produce.
