Course summary

The Extended Project is one of a choice of compulsory options for those students who have already gained 5 or more A* to C grades at GCSE, including English and Maths. The Extended project is to help you to develop and improve your own learning and performance as a critical, reflective and independent learner. You will also develop and apply decision-making and problem solving skills; extend your skills in time management, planning, research, critical thinking, evaluation and presentation. As part of the project you work on, you should also develop and apply skills creatively, demonstrating initiative and enterprise. You will have the freedom to choose the theme for your project - perhaps you’d like to do it on a subject you’re studying or an area of personal interest? You can also decide how you present your final outcome. It could be a design, an artefact, a performance, an investigation or a dissertation.

Entry requirements

5 GCSEs at 4 or above, including English and Maths.

How you'll be assessed

You’ll be assessed on four areas: • Managing a project • Using resources • Developing and realising a project • Reviewing a project
