National Magistrates' Court Mock Trial Competition 2012 - The Final!
Our Year 9 team took part in the national final at Nottingham Magistrates Court on Saturday 16th June.
16 schools reached the final - and the standard of all of the students both from our school and the others was unbelievable!
The winners were King Edward VI School Handsworth (for the second year running) and runners up were the Tiffen Girls School from Wimbledon.
They didn't announce other positions except to say that "We were all winners!"
428 schools entered the competition in 65 local heats. 74 progressed to the 12 regional finals, and then 16 went through to the national final, so FGS did really well to get so far.
The pupils who took part were an absolute credit to the school and they are:
Ryan Boyd, Liam Fletcher, Jack Cooper, Jacob Richardson, Cavelle Cherry, Julia Hall, Zac Kusners, Ashur Kerrigan, Sarah Towler, Sam Worthington, Holly Palmer, Mollie Brett, Aaron Stephenson and Becky Catchpole.

John Leggott Maths Challenge
On Wednesday 6th July 2011, four year 10 pupils from 10B1 (Mr Meyer's class) took part in the annual John Leggott Maths Challenge competing against schools from the entire Scunthorpe region and also as far away as Doncaster. They came in second place with only 2 points between them and the winners from Doncaster! We can therefore state that we are the best school in Scunthorpe and also North Lincolnshire in this competition for 2011!
The pupils who took part are Ellie Jacques, Aimee Marchant, Josh Scott and James Carpenter.
Congratulations to them all!

Year 8 students took part in the local heats of the Magistrates Court competition ... and won!
They competed against other schools from North Lincolnshire. They now go through to the regional finals of this national event.
They have done very well as they are up against students who are often in Year 9. They have to re-enact a case in Scunthorpe Magistrates Court either as lawyers, witnesses, the accused or magistrates. They sat in the actual court and the case lasted for one hour.
In the semi-finals and the final, the defendant was found not guilty.
