The National Justice Museum Royal Courts of Justice North West

What makes us a great choice for education?

National Justice Museum programmes are recognised as both thought-provoking and rewarding for students. They are all curriculum-linked. Uniquely, students are able to study real cases drawn from the Museum’s archive, and do this in real life legal settings including working courtroom premises. Legal professionals will often spend time with them discussing their legal work.

What is typically included on our school trips?

National Justice Museum programmes cover a wide range of topics, and are all curriculum linked. Core programmes explore a contemporary court case, a historic court case, and a contemporary appeal case.

Testimonials

“This was a really unique and engaging activity for our students to get involved in, allowing them to gain a greater understanding of the law and justice system. It was a great opportunity to practice their public speaking and debating skills.”   Stockport Academy

“The best bit of the day was when they got to role play in the court, they loved being in role as a barrister or even the judge (they even enjoyed playing the defendant!) The role play was current and thought provoking and inspired a great debate-as a teacher it was fab to see quieter members of my class take an active role and argue their point. The day was exciting, fun and factual-a lot of the children got back to school saying how it was one of the best trips they had been on! The whole day really brought to life the topic of crime and punishment and at Water we always try to excite and engage our children to ensure they are receiving the highest quality of education-the trip really didn’t disappoint in this.” Water Primary School
