‘Getting Court’ project
The mayor will be attending the ‘Getting Court’ project with the Tudor Grange Academy Students and the Hanley Castle High School students. As part of the project, the Crown Court Team will bring together 12 students, aged 14 – 18 from 2 county schools, to see the workings of the Crown Court at first hand. Sitting in the body of the court, they get to interact directly with HHJ Burbidge, witness the events in front of the Court that day, from progress meetings through to sentencing; they also get to hear directly from an ex-offender, drug dealer and addict who works now with rehabilitation charities.
