Abernyte Primary School has proudly received its second FairAchiever Award from the Fairtrade Foundation, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing commitment to global citizenship and ethical education. This prestigious recognition is the highest of the Fairtrade Schools Awards and reflects the school’s deep integration of Fairtrade principles into its curriculum, ethos, and community engagement.
The award is the culmination of six years of dedicated work by pupils, staff, and the wider school community. Throughout this journey, Abernyte Primary has consistently promoted awareness of global trade injustices and empowered its students to become active participants in creating a fairer world. From classroom lessons to school-wide events and community outreach, Fairtrade has become a core part of the school’s identity.
Receiving the FairAchiever Award for a second time is a testament to the school’s sustained efforts and its role as a beacon of ethical learning in rural Perthshire. It highlights how even small schools can make a big impact when values like fairness, sustainability, and global responsibility are placed at the heart of education. The school community is rightly proud of this achievement, which not only celebrates past efforts but also inspires continued action for a fairer future.
