Before half term, a group of our Year 13 A Level Law students attended a thought-provoking trip to the Old Bailey and the Supreme Court.

The Old Bailey hears trials for the most serious crimes, and the Supreme Court is the highest court in England & Wales, often dealing with cases of public or constitutional importance. The students were intrigued by the court cases they were able to view, most notably ones that involved gruesome murders. They were able to talk with the court police officers, and see the impact of the crimes on both the victim and the perpetrators’ families.

At the Supreme Court, our students were curious about the makeup of the judiciary and were inspired when viewing an exhibition on ‘The First 100 Years’, celebrating a centenary of women in law. 

The trip gave our aspiring lawyers real-life examples of the knowledge they have built up in their criminal law, law of contract and English legal system modules.
