"At Lenzie Academy, Fairtrade is studied through a cross-curricular project which has attracted the interest of Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Education (HMIE). The Modern Languages Department’s input to this is particularly important. The HMIE visited the school to hear about the project, which they are considering promoting as best practice; they have recently highlighted it in their report as a key strength."
