All units will require you to complete Pass, Merit and Distinction Tasks. Units 1 & 3 are externally assessed through a one-and-a-half-hour controlled assessment, which is worth 50% of your grade; you will be given a case study two weeks prior to the assessment which will require you to conduct research and give advice of a legal issue. Unit 2 and the further optional unit are internally assessed through a series of coursework tasks, spread over two terms.
For your induction session, please work your way through the PowerPoint below. This will then enable you to complete the Summer Project (also below) which will be used by your teachers as their first form of assessment in September. Should you need help at any stage, please contact Miss Evans (lauren.evans@wilmingtonacademy.org.uk). Completed projects should be emailed to: lauren.evans@wilmingtonacademy.org.uk.
