Hide AdMr Hirst, Brookfield’s headteacher, said: “This is a wonderful achievement by an outstanding group of Brookfield students. The commitment, organisation, delivery, good-humour and team spirit of the group was incredible.
"I am certain some successful legal careers have been launched as a result of this competition. I know every member of the Brookfield community would have been impressed and proud of our students’ performance at this prestigious event.
“A massive thanks also to Miss Kitt and Mr Davey for their work with the students. Being able to enter and perform well in national competitions like the Mock Trial Competition does not just happen by chance; it requires time, support and guidance, something that both teachers provided throughout the year.
"It was very clear how much the teachers and students were determined to do well for each other. A fantastic all-round achievement”.
