Supported by Magistrates from Leicester Magistrates’ Court, students explored a real-life case focused on possession of a bladed article in a public place. This powerful experience gave them a deeper understanding of the justice system and the serious consequences of knife crime. Building on their work this year creating impactful anti-knife crime campaigns, the trip encouraged thoughtful decision-making and a strong sense of community responsibility. A huge thank you to the Magistrates for giving their time and expertise to support such an important and meaningful learning opportunity.
