Pupils, parents, grandparents and others gathered together to enjoy Fairtrade tea, coffee, orange squash and sampled homemade Fairtrade biscuits and cakes baked by the school cook.

The Scarborough Fairtrade group hosted a stall at the party and there was a raffle of Fairtrade items donated by Newlands Co-op and Proudfoots supermarket.

Key Stage 2 pupils carried out interviews at the event to test their knowledge about Fairtrade products and younger pupils completed a booklet about Pablo the Super Fairtrade Banana.

Sainsbury’s supermarket donated the Fairtrade prizes for the winners.

A school spokesman said: “£210 was raised for Sport Relief. In recognition of our work about Fairtrade we are now a FairAware School.”
