The EPQ allows you to lead your own project. You have to plan and carry out research on a topic that you have chosen and is one not covered by your other qualifications. You could take inspiration from something touched on in class or something personal and unrelated to your studies. You then use this research to produce a 5,000-word written report and, in the case of practical projects, an artefact or a production and a 1,000-word report. By taking responsibility for the choice, design and decision-making of an individual project (or an individual role in a group project) you: - Become more critical, reflective and independent as a learner - Develop and apply decision-making and problem-solving skills - Increase your planning, research, analysis, synthesis, evaluation and presentation skills - Learn to apply technologies confidently - Demonstrate creativity, initiative and enterprise
We ask that students entering the Sixth Form have a minimum of 7 GCSEs or equivalent qualifications with 5 GCSEs at Grade 4 plus 2 at Grade 5 or above.
Your ability to do the following will be assessed: - Manage (20%) - Use Resources (20%) - Develop and Realise (40%) - Review (20%).
