Goal 3d: Schools, Colleges, Universities and young people’s Associations

There are sixty state primary and eighteen state secondary schools in the Borough of Enfield. Several schools are already integrating Fairtrade into their curriculum, 25% of primary, 50% of secondary, and the following list provides an outline of the range of these activities. It is probable that a higher number of schools than shown here have some form of Fairtrade affiliation, and part of the on-going work of the Fairtrade Steering group will be to co- ordinate more comprehensively the work carried out by schools and young people’s organisations to encourage more participation by young people in the campaign.

Primary Schools

A teacher from the school is an active member on the Enfield Steering Group, and has supported several children to continue their Fairtrade interest when they leave the school to take up places. The Fairtrade message and ethos is reiterated through the school’s link with Ghana, where teacher exchange visits have taken place.

The school is in a particularly deprived area of the borough and this inevitably brings a range of challenges to delivering the basic curriculum.
