Today Year 6 visited Liverpool Family Court. We took part in a mock trial related to robbery. The children all took on different roles such as Judge, Barristers, Solicitors, Clerk, Usher, Jury and witness. The Jury unanimously found the defendant ‘Not Guilty’ 🌸
We forgot to take a picture of our brilliant staff team. We have had 2 days of working together to develop and be ready to support our vision. “We value every child for who they are & prepare them for who they can be.” Small words with big consequences.💕 Can’t wait for Monday.
