Chesterton Community Sports College proudly celebrated Fairtrade Fortnight 2025 from 22nd September to 5th October with a range of exciting activities, competitions, and fundraising events.

Throughout the fortnight, pupils took part in lessons designed to link Fairtrade to each subject, exploring how Fairtrade supports communities across the world. Each class put in fantastic effort, with pupils recognised for their enthusiasm and creativity.

☕ Fairtrade Hot Chocolate Stand
On Friday 3rd October, pupils enjoyed a delicious Fairtrade hot chocolate at break and lunch, raising an impressive £66.90 for the Fairtrade Foundation. Huge thanks to the prefects — Archie D, Chloe B, Freya W, Maisy D, Marcel S, Mason A, and Pippa B — for running the stall so brilliantly.

🎟️ Fairtrade Raffle
Prefects also sold raffle tickets during the fortnight for a chance to win a hamper full of Fairtrade goodies, kindly donated by Chesterton Co-op. The lucky winner was Molly L (Year 7)!
Together with a staff raffle, an incredible £78.10 was raised to support Fairtrade.

🌍 A huge well done to everyone involved!
The enthusiasm, teamwork, and generosity shown across the school truly reflected our values at CCSC — working together to make a positive difference.
