Law Law Law Law Law Back to Subjects Meet the teachers The course offers an excellent grounding in Law, especially for those who may already have half an eye on a possible legal career. Law is also a subject which is respected by many educational institutions and employers. Studying law combines academic rigour with practical relevance and does not exclude students from studying the subject at degree level. Together with lessons, there are many ways in which students can learn law. Following current affairs and cases will highlight what is taught in class. To supplement this, court and prison visits have been arranged in the past. Key Stage 5 The course is structured around four key units that provide a thorough understanding of the legal system and its applications: The Nature of Law and the English Legal System: This unit provides a foundational understanding of the law-making institutions in England and Wales, such as Parliament and the courts. It then explores how disputes are resolved and the roles of key legal professionals, including judges, magistrates, and lawyers. Criminal Law: Students will undertake a detailed study of specific criminal offences, including Murder, Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH), and robbery. The unit also examines various legal defences, such as insanity and intoxication, and teaches students how to apply legal rules to real-world scenarios. Tort: This unit focuses on civil wrongs, exploring particular torts such as negligence, nuisance, and occupier's liability. Students learn to apply legal principles to factual situations to determine liability and responsibility. Human Rights Law: This final unit involves a detailed study of fundamental human rights, including the right to life, liberty, and freedom of expression. Students will also learn about the restrictions placed on these rights and how legal rules are applied to protect them. This course is ideal for students considering a career in the legal profession, law enforcement, or other related fields, and it provides an excellent academic grounding in the principles that govern our society.

We achieve this through various channels: Formal Feedback through Quality Assurance We actively seek and value student feedback as an integral part of our ongoing Quality Assurance processes.

Focus Groups: Specific groups of students are invited to discuss particular topics in depth, providing nuanced feedback that helps shape school policies and practices. Curriculum Reviews: Students contribute to discussions about the curriculum, offering perspectives on how subjects are taught and how content can be made more engaging and relevant. This systematic approach ensures that student perspectives directly inform our strategic planning and continuous improvement efforts.

Parents Snow & bad weather What happens in case of a school closure due to poor weather? This policy outlines the procedures King Edward VI High School in Stafford will follow in the event of severe weather or other unforeseen circumstances that may affect the school's normal operations, including closure. The primary objective is to ensure the safety of all students, staff, and visitors while minimising disruption to education. Read more Decision to Close the School The decision to close or partially close the school is the responsibility of the Headteacher, in consultation with the Chair of Governors, where possible. This decision will not be taken lightly and will be based on a thorough risk assessment of the following factors: Safety of the School Site : An assessment will be made of the safety of the school premises, including pathways, car parks, and access routes. This includes the presence of snow, ice, flooding, or other hazards. Safety of Travel: The conditions of local roads, public transport, and school bus routes will be considered to ensure students and staff can travel safely to and from the school in the Stafford area and surrounding communities. Staffing Levels: The number of staff able to safely travel to school will be a key consideration. Insufficient staffing may compromise the supervision and health and safety of students. Essential Services: The availability of essential services such as heating, lighting, and catering will be checked to ensure the school can operate effectively and safely. The school's intention is always to remain open if it is safe to do so. However, the safety of the school community will always be the paramount consideration. Communication of School Closure The school will use a variety of methods to communicate a school closure, with the aim of providing as much notice as possible. Please do not assume the school is closed unless you have received official communication. Before the School Day (Early Morning Closure): A decision to close the school will be made as early as possible, ideally before 7:00 am. An announcement will be posted on the school's official website homepage. Parents will receive a text message and/or an email via our parent communication system, Go4Schools . The school's social media channels (e.g., official Facebook , Instagram and WhatsApp channels) will be updated. An announcement may also be made on local radio stations, including Vibe 1 (formerly Stafford FM) , Hits Radio (Staffordshire & Cheshire) , and BBC Radio Stoke . The closure information may also be available on the Staffordshire County Council website . During the School Day (Early Closure): In the event that weather conditions deteriorate during the school day, the Headteacher will make a decision to close the school early. Students will be informed of the early closure and will be supervised until they can safely leave. A message will be sent to all parents via Go4Schools (text and/or email). School buses will be contacted to arrange for an early collection where possible. The school will remain open and supervised for any student who is unable to go home. Student and Parent Responsibilities Staying Informed: Parents and students should regularly check the official communication channels outlined above for updates, especially during periods of adverse weather. Travel Safety: Parents and students must make their own judgment regarding the safety of their journey to school. If a journey is deemed unsafe, parents should inform the school of their child's absence as per the school's attendance policy. Emergency Contact Details: It is crucial that the school has up-to-date contact information for all parents and guardians. Please ensure you notify the school of any changes to your phone numbers or email addresses. Behaviour: During periods of bad weather, students are expected to follow all instructions from staff. Snowball throwing on school premises is prohibited due to the risk of injury. Continuity of Education In the event of a school closure, the school will aim to provide continuity of education through remote learning. Details on how to access online learning resources and tasks will be communicated to students and parents via the usual communication channels. Re-opening the School Once the severe weather has passed and the school site has been deemed safe, an announcement will be made via the same communication channels to inform parents and students of the school's re-opening.
