We are proud to share that our A Level Law students have come third nationally in the final of the UK Bar Mock Trial Competition!
Our students competed against 24 other school teams from across the UK in the final of the Bar Mock Trial Competition at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, ending in an amazing third place!

Supported by professional judges and barristers, our Runshaw students first won a competition heat at Preston Crown Court in January in order to progress to the national final in London. It was a great opportunity for the students to work together and present a case in front of real judges and experience the atmosphere of a real court. Over 3,000 students took part in the competition this year, and Runshaw’s success is a testament to the hard work of all our students and Law staff and the transformative power of our Runshaw Law Academy – congratulations to you all on this huge achievement!

This is just one of the many highlights studying Law at Runshaw – our annual London residential includes visits to the House of Parliament, Royal Courts of Justice, the famous Old Bailey, Lincolns Inn, and the London Dungeons. Furthermore, students can join the optional weekly Law Academy to improve legal skills, act as an advocate, mentor school pupils and take part in competitions – all opportunities that enhance their CV, including Mini-Vac schemes and work experience with local firms of solicitors.
