On 30 January, our Year 13 Criminology and Politics students are heading to London for an exciting Criminal Justice trip. The visit links directly to both courses, giving students valuable insight into key institutions like the Supreme Court and how the justice system works in practice. Students will tour the Supreme Court and take part in a Q&A session, before visiting the National Justice Museum at the Royal Courts of Justice. There, they'll take part in an interactive mock murder trial preparing statements, questioning witnesses, and delivering a final jury verdict. A fantastic opportunity for real-world learning, cultural enrichment, and exploring future career pathways. #BeTheBestYouCanBe
It's Children's Mental Health Week This week, we're raising awareness of how important it is for children to feel able to speak up when they need support. Children have big feeling and having someone they trust to talk to can make a huge difference. When they feel listened to, they learn that their emotions matter, they're not alone and it's okay to ask for help. A simple conversation, a calm response, or just being there to listen can have a lasting impact on a child's confidence and wellbeing. Head over to https://www.childrensmentalhealthweek.org.uk/ to find out more and see the support that's available! #BeTheBestYouCanBe
