You will be provided with module booklets to complete in class and in your own time. You will complete case studies, undertake research, look at contemporary legal issues in the news, complete practise exam questions and examinations.

During the two years of study, you will be regularly assessed under test conditions to practise being able to understand and respond to the questions asked in the correct time allocation so that you are fully prepared for the final exams. There is an assessment calendar for A levels which includes timed assessment every 4 to 5 weeks. Feedback gained from these assessments will help you to develop your skills, target your revision and where necessary enable us to provide additional support.
