Magistrates Court Mock Trial Competition
After the success of last year’s Crown Court Competition the History department has decided to get involved in the Magistrates Court Competition for younger students. As part of their preparation for the trial itself year 9 students were taken to Telford Magistrates Court to witness the court in action. Alec Beyer, a local magistrate, gave students a tour of the courts and was able to explain procedures and sentencing. Students then watched how magistrates dealt with three cases. Students were able to ask magistrates questions. This was an inspiring visit; the students are now very keen to do well in the competition. The students were a credit to the school.

K.I.P
This year, instead of participating in the shoebox appeal, we have decided to help a charity a bit closer to home – the KIP project, based on Tan Bank in Wellington. The KIP project is a charity for local homeless people aged between 26 and 60. It was set up in 2004. The project provides help in a number of ways:
- · Trying to arrange shelter (perhaps a flat, or a B&B)
- · Help looking for a job
- · Providing a meal and something to drink
- · Just being there and providing support
They receive almost no Government funding and are reliant on donations from the public. Please give what you can, donations will be very gratefully received!
