Read MoreA Special Visitor
Published 24/11/21Rhine Class were excited to welcome a very special visitor - a Barrister - to help them learn more about the legal system in England.
The children listened intently to the explanation of the Court trial process and the role of a Barrister, asked thoughtful questions and were inspired by the message, that anyone can be a Barrister, you just need to really want to do it.
There was then the opportunity to try on the gown and wig. Some distinguished potential Barristers!
