What will students study in Law this year? We study AQA Law 7162- In Year 12 students will have nine periods of Law over a two-week timetable. We begin the year by looking at the nature of Law and the English legal system, this gives students an overview of Law and how the legal system in the UK works. In the Autumn term, we look at Criminal and Civil Law and explore the role that Law plays in society. Students then go onto to study parliamentary Law making. In the Spring and Summer terms students study Criminal Law focusing on fatal offences against the person, non-fatal offences against the person, crimes against property and defences to criminal offences. In Year 13 students continue to have nine periods of Law over a two-week timetable- and we cover the final part of the A-level Law course. In the Autumn term we will study Tort Law, including negligence and occupier’s liability. In the Spring term we look at Human rights focusing on the right to life, the right to liberty and security of person, the right to private and family life, right to freedom of expression and we conclude with the right to freedom of peaceful assembly. The summer term is an opportunity for us to revisit A-level content, and prepare for the examinations. What are the major assessments this year? Students in Year 12 will sit mock exams in the Autumn, Spring and Summer terms. Students in Year 13 will sit 3 formal exams at end of Year 13. As well as being tested on past questions and papers in lesson. What do assessments test? Students will be tested on their subject knowledge for Law, as well as their ability to apply knowledge and evaluate the issues in the Law. Whom should I contact for further advice or information?
