Enrichment: Law Society
“I have really enjoyed studying English Literature
at B6, the books you study are great and I would
definitely recommend the course to a new student.
As part of my enrichment, I got to compete in the
Regional Law Mock Trails with The Sixth Form, I was
really proud as we came second in the region and
we were able to visit Bolton Crown Court. Because
of this experience I now hope to become a barrister
in the future.”
