Department Overview

Law mirrors society. It’s a reflection of the values and principles we as a community hold, and so, can be used as a tool for providing a historical excavation into the social fabric at any given point in time. The remit of the law is so ubiquitous that it permeates through a plethora of areas from education to crime to marriage. We are bound by law from the moment we wake up to the point we lay our heads to rest.

This is why a firm understanding of our civil rights and responsibilities is crucial for navigating the world. Without an appreciation for the ramifications of competing demands within public policy, it is difficult to appraise systems of governance and aspire for a better future.

Law facilitates criticality, argument and analysis in a wide range of disciplines from medicine, to business, to architecture, to teaching. The multifaceted skills gleaned during the course, equip students with the means to approach the academic demands of life post 16, be that university or an apprenticeship.

The career opportunities are endless. From practicing law, enforcing it or contributing to the production of policy, A Level Law opens a multitude of doors.

Law at Biddenham provides a fresh insight into the current legal sphere and its challenges and opportunities. Teaching is both dynamic and holistic, and we provide extra curricular opportunities such as participation in the Bar Mock Trial Competition and visits to the Royal Courts of Justice.
