Every year, the High Sheriff of Rutland invites students to participate in “mock trials” at Oakham Castle. Steeped in history, Oakham Castle has served as a crown court since 1229, providing an authentic setting for this immersive experience.During the mock trials, our Year 10 students step into various roles, including magistrates, solicitors, the accused, witnesses, and court ushers. They follow a script based on a real trial of common assault.What sets this experience apart is our students’ engagement as magistrates, debating evidence to ensure fair sentencing. They explore sentencing options ranging from conditional discharge to custodial sentences, gaining invaluable insights into the judicial system.A highlight was the Q&A session where students learned firsthand from magistrates Suzi and Martin about their journey to becoming magistrates. Linda, who works part-time at the castle, shared her extensive application process, inspiring students with her dedication.This event encourages students to consider careers in the voluntary sector and hones essential skills like decision-making and teamwork. We extend our thanks to Geraldine Feehally, Suzi, Martin, and Linda for their invaluable contributions.If you’re interested in providing similar workplace experiences for our students, please contact our careers team at careers@catmosecollege.com.#CatmoseCollege #Rutland #Oakhamcastle #catmosecareers #EncountersWithEmployersAndEmployees #ExperiencesOfWorkplaces ...

From Shakespeare to more contemporary plays, their performances were a great success. Well done to the following students: Lexi, Madeleine, Florence, Lola, Isaac, Liam, Juventio and Ethan. Thank you to Paula Matthews who organised the evening, and for her dedication to the development of all of her students. LAMDA stands for ‘London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art’.
