The following schools are working toward becoming a Fairtrade School
To become a Fairtrade School you need to meet 5 goals
> Set up a Fairtrade School Steering Group with at least half pupils and which meets at least once a term.
> Write and adopt a Fairtrade Policy which has the support of the board of Governors and is signed by the Head teacher.
> Use and sell Fairtrade products as much as possible.
> Learn about Fairtrade in at least three subjects in two year groups.
> Take action for Fairtrade at least once a term in the school and once a year in the community.
The Hartlepool Steering Group would like to hear from any school that is involved in any way with Fairtrade. If you can meet any two of the above goals, we will list you here as a Fairtrade Friendly School.
