The course we follow is Level 3 BTEC in Applied Law. The course is graded Dist* (A* at A level), Dist (A), Merit (C), and Pass (E). This course provides a foundation for anyone interested in Law. It is a passport to university to study Law and any of the business-related disciplines. It combines well with most other subjects at A-Level. ● Over the two years there are two exams. The Year 12 exam is on tort and counts for 25% of the mark. The Year 13 exam looks at two important areas of criminal law – homicide (ie murder and manslaughter) and offenses against property (theft, fraud, robbery, and burglary). Each exam can be retaken once. ● Two units are coursework, allowing students to show their ability and care on the other side of the work. In Year 12 we do the basics of criminal law, and in Year 13 Contract Law. No previous knowledge of Law is needed. ● The course is practical and hands-on but will also require students to meet deadlines and produce reports in a fairly short space of time. ● An interest in the world around is important, as is the ability to read/watch the media and what is going on. ● A Grade 5 in English is needed because the course requires the ability to write accurately. This course will require students, for example, to write about a scenario and the extent to which a defendant is guilty. ● Students are also expected to do independent research and to think and debate for themselves.
Minimum Grade 4 Maths and grade 5 in English.
The course is 50% coursework and 50% exams. The exams can each be retaken once and the best mark counts. The coursework is internally marked within the school, and externally moderated.
