The Law School pathway looks at how the ways of living developed from generation to generation, including customs, practices, places and values.
These subjects allow you to develop the skills, knowledge and understanding to evaluate, consider and debate about issues. Students from this pathway have progressed on to higher education to study at many top universities after achieving top grades. At Career 6, you will benefit from studying in a higher education environment with smaller class sizes than schools and sixth form colleges.
You will be supported throughout your time with us to realise your potential with individual and expert support. We provide the opportunity for you to visit local universities and participate in work with them. Our uniquely planned timetable allows you to undertake work experience placements, and meet professionals from the police and law. You will see how your subjects link to your career plans through visits to local law courts and prisons, the National Crime Museum, the Houses of Parliament, and even the United Nations assembly and International Red Cross in Geneva.

By doing this, you will be able to investigate and connect texts, draw out patterns of similarity and difference using a variety of reading strategies and perspectives. This A level develops a broad range of transferable skills to complement the other subjects on this pathway.
