The National Justice Museum North

What makes us a great choice for education

National Justice Museum offers a truly unique glimpse into the legacy of the British judicial and justice system as well as the future. Young people receive careers aspirations from both the educational team, who are mostly from teaching and educational based backgrounds, as well as the connections to legal professionals who help shape and form our sessions.

What is typically included on our school trips

Our website, https://www.nationaljusticemuseum.org.uk/museum/learning/north, has a wealth of information for the extensive learning opportunities we offer at the museum and in the form of outreach. As we operate across all key stages, some courtroom sessions and tour types are tailored for specific year groups or cohorts and any enquiries on adjustments for the learning experience should be sent to learning@nationaljusticemuseum.org.uk

Testimonials

Had this taken place in school it would not have been anyway near the great experience it was in the courtroom.” Belle Vue Girls’ School

“It is so important for children to see how things work in the real world. We’re really keen to carry on doing things like this so we would love to return to the Crown Court.” Bowling Park Primary School

“The fact that the workshop was held in a court room is what made it so special, it provided an authentic and realistic experience. The pupils loved observing barristers and wearing the wig and gown. If this was not offered at a court room, it is unlikely we would attend as we could recreate it in a classroom.” Feversham Academy
