School Tasking South Regional Final 2025

The Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre took part in the School Tasking South Regional Final 2025, hosted by A&O Shearman. The regional final brought together six teams from primary schools who have been taking part in School Tasking with their host universities, to compete for a spot at the Champions of Champions School Tasking Final in Warwick later this year.

This academic year the QMLAC again rolled out the School Tasking project at three local primary schools within Tower Hamlets. We are one of over 30 Universities across the country getting involved with this initiative, headed up by the University of Warwick.

School Tasking is an outreach project and StreetLaw initiatve that enables young people to learn about the law in a fun and interactive way in the style of the hit TV show Taskmaster. To find out more about the project see: https://taskmastereducation.com/school-tasking.

The ‘South’ region this year was made up of: Queen Mary University of London, Kings College London, London School of Economics, BPP London, the University of Sussex and the University of Hertfordshire.

Each university in the region selected a school team to bring along to the regional final at A&O Shearman on 25th April 2025. The teams had to complete a number of tasks throughout the day, and points were awarded by a team of Taskmaster Judges from Christ Church Primary School (who competed in the competition last year).

A huge congratulations to Lawdale Junior School, the school team representing Queen Mary at the competition, who won on the day and are on their way to the Champions of Champions final!

The success of the day would not have been possible without the collaboration of so many.
