Home Schooling GCSE Law - The Course

No previous knowledge of the subject is assumed or required.

Areas covered include the nature, evolution, making, and administration of the law, and contract, tort, criminal, family, and employment law.
The Syllabus
Our GCSE Law course prepares students for AQA GCSE Law syllabus, for exams in 2010 and later years. In 2010 (specification 3161) assessment is by one written paper (80%) and coursework (20%). From 2011 (specification 4162), there are two written papers (each worth 50% and lasting 90 minutes) with no coursework. We have chosen these syllabuses as they are the most suited to distance learning.
