A BIG thank you to our special visitor, Sean - a real-life magistrate! Year 6 loved learning about what the job involves and how magistrates make fair decisions in court. Some great questions from the children, too! ⚖️👨‍⚖️ #InspiringVisitors Inspire Academy Inspire History

Yr5 had a visitor yesterday- a local magistrate came to explain how the legal system works. Everyone was intrigued; the children had many questions and ideas to share. It was a great insight into the justice system - a sneaky peak ahead to our future topic of Crime & Punishment.

MIC team member Sean visited Milton St John’s C of E Primary School in Mossley, where he delivered an interactive quiz focused on the magistracy & the criminal justice system. The class showed good engagement & asked insightful questions. Thanks to the school for the invitation.
