A Levels
Law is the subject for you if you have a genuine interest in the Law or the English Legal System, if you enjoy an intellectual challenge or if you are interested in becoming a barrister or solicitor.
Law essentially involves the study of the English Legal System and the system of Law Making in England and Wales along with a detailed look at key aspects of Criminal Law, the Law of Tort and Human Rights. You will learn about the nature of law with regards to the differences between criminal law and civil law.
Law is taught by a team of highly qualified, experienced and enthusiastic teachers. Study visits develop students’ understanding of Law. Trips have included visiting the Crown court, Old Bailey and the Houses of Parliament.
Once you’ve finished your Law A level you’ll have picked up a range of useful skills including the ability to analyse, debate, use cases to provide evidence and communicate effectively. These will be a really big help when you continue with your studies at university and in employment.
