Magistrates in the commnunity

Year 6 were joined by two local magistrates this week to learn about how the court system works. 

The children took part in a quiz to test their knowledge and learn new information. We looked at how magistrate and crown courts are different. We found out that the 'Magna Carta' rule means we must be tried by our peers which is why magistrates are not legally trained. 

It was very interesting.
