Senior and Sixth Form Triumph at Mock Trial

After weeks of preparation, our team of students had a very successful day at the Young Citizens UK Independent Schools' Mock Trial Competition - winning the regional heat held at Stowe School.  The competition has given them an unparalleled insight into the judicial system and the work of senior legal professionals and this is the first time that Pipers Corner have achieved this level of success in the competition. 

Our competition included Edgbaston High School for Girls, Cardiff Sixth Form, Oxford International School, Princethorpe College, St Johns College, and Stowe School - most of whom fielded fully Sixth Form teams - so it was even more impressive that our mixed team of Years 10-13 Students were victorious.

Our team was made up of four Barristers: Zahra P, Martha F, Olivia W and Lauren N; four Witnesses - Sky P, Gigi C, Maisy M and Emily M; a Court Clerk and Usher - Neve W, with Trixie F as a Juror, Janet R as Court Reporter and Juror in different rounds and Hannah B as Court Artist and Juror in different rounds.  

Having won the regional heat last week, this superb team of Pipers Senior and Sixth Form Students are now through to the National Final which is due to take place at the Old Bailey in June. We cannot wait to see how they get on.
