Ladder to Law

Daniel Stone from “Ladder to Law”, came into school to work with some of our Year 10 students on Wednesday 8 June. Daniel, who is well known to many of our students is a local man who attended Oxford University. He has previously worked with our students on Enrichment Days He was speaking to Year 10 about possible career options in the field of Law and the types of skills that a future Lawyer would need.

The students had to debate such issues as “Women should be able to pay football alongside men”, and “Stop and search policies had been a fair way of reducing crime”.

There was a terrific response from the Year 10 students who were really challenged by the discussion issues and yet displayed great debating skills.

Daniel will shortly be taking up a permanent post at the University of Birmingham in their Widening Access team, so we look forward to working with him in the future.
