On Wednesday 4^th November, selected Year 9,10 and 11 students visited the Royal Courts of Justice in London.

In a real courtroom, students took part in an interactive mock trial, taking on roles such as judge, clerk, usher, prosecution, defence, witnesses and jury members.

They examined evidence, presented their cases, reached a verdict and discussed sentencing. The case used for the mock trial was based on a real-life court case, making the activity even more engaging and giving students an insight into how the law works in practice.

Following the workshop, students enjoyed a self-guided tour of the historic venue. They thoroughly enjoyed the visit and gained valuable knowledge about the law, courtroom procedures and how the justice system works.
