Magistrates in the Community

Magistrates in the Community

Year 6 were joined by a local magistrate this week to learn about how the court systems work. 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. 

The class had lots of intersting questions and this fir teally well into our PSHE topic of being a good citizen.
