The National Justice Museum’s outreach workshops, bring the law and justice system directly to schools across all Key Stages (KS1-KS3). These curriculum-linked, interactive pop-up court sessions use engaging formats like mock trials, where students take on roles such as judge, barrister, and jury. For younger students (KS1/KS2), topics might include the “Goldilocks” trial to teach consequences and the role of emergency services, while secondary students (KS3+) explore more serious contemporary and historical issues such as knife crime, cyberbullying, the Suffragettes, hate crimes and Human rights. The goal is to encourage active citizenship and provide a hands-on understanding of their rights and responsibilities.
