On Tuesday 15 November we held our first Forensic Showcase. The showcase was
made up of 6 different research projects that our forensic club students had
been working hard on since June. The topic of the showcase was ‘decomposition’
and students used a wide variety of methods to research, carry out and record
their experiments. The projects were then displayed and explained to staff,
students and parents/carers, with an extra-special virtual visit from Dr Matteo
Borrini, of Liverpool John Moore’s University Dr Borrini spoke to all the
students and gave valuable feedback to the students on their projects. During
our award ceremony, he awarded Ellie S, Milla C, Ellie May B, Willow B and Ruby
S the prize for the Best Academic Research Project. Dr Borrini then awarded the
runner up prize to Harrison N, Jacob M and Evie A.
