The Magistrates’ Mock Trial Competition gives KS3 students the opportunity to act out court cases in competition with students from other schools.  Having spent the last few months tirelessly preparing their cases, our group of Year 8 students took on roles as lawyers, witnesses, legal advisors, ushers, magistrates and court reporters – each of these roles challenging in their own way.

Although a little nervous when the competition began, our students rose to the challenge wonderfully and both our Prosecution and Defence teams won their cases in their respective trials.  The teams were truly victorious and received wonderful comments from both the professional judges and the organisers of the event.

Well done to all the students involved!
