Welcome to the sixth form college colchester​​​​​​​

Last week, a group of our Law students took part in an exciting Mock Trial event hosted by Attwells Solicitors. Students were challenged to represent either the claimant or defence in a negligence case involving two dogs, preparing legal documents, developing arguments and presenting their case before a judge. The event provided a fantastic opportunity for students to experience the realities of legal practice. Working alongside Attwells apprentices and qualified solicitors, students gained valuable insight into the legal profession, received advice on routes into law, and learned more about Attwells' apprenticeship programme. The trial concluded with students presenting their arguments before an Attwells Partner acting as judge. Attwells staff were extremely impressed by the professionalism, enthusiasm and advocacy skills demonstrated by all participants. The experience not only developed students' legal knowledge and confidence but also provided invaluable networking opportunities with legal professionals. A huge congratulations to all students involved for representing the College so well.

Heh I'd forgotten I had these on my phone. Last term in those Coffee Shop additional study sessions we had a bit of Situationist fun, sticking collage ducks onto paintings by Vermeer. Some of those ducks look very much at home, which isn't really how it is meant to work at all.... #asgerjorn #disquietingduckling
