Mock Trial Competition
Fifteen students from The Buckingham School participated in the annual Mock Trial Competition in Milton Keynes’ Magistrate Court. This was our fifth year in the competition.
Students had to learn a specially written case and in the roles of lawyers, witnesses, magistrates and court staff, had to prosecute and defend their case.
The group of students who represented The Buckingham School cannot be praised enough for their effort and commitment throughout the preparations for the competition and also during the day in Milton Keynes. They have displayed excellent teamwork at every stage of the process and were a pleasure to be around. In addition, the students also developed valuable life skills personal attributes such as critical thinking, analysing information, planning and of course public speaking.
Though the team did not advance to the next round, they were a very difficult opponent to the teams they competed against and were praised by the organisers for how well they did. A huge Well Done to TBS Mock Trial Team!
