Westwood Language College for Girls in Upper Norwood hosted a celebration of Fairtrade Fortnight.
Year five students from Cypress Juniors joined in the fun and enjoyed samba, salsa and poetry workshops to learn more about Fairtrade.
Westwood College headteacher Margaret Hedley said: "This programme helps all students understand their role as responsible consumers in influencing world trade.
