Study Skills

Course summary

All students will have the opportunity to undertake the AQA Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). They will begin this project in June of Year 12. The area of study for the project is chosen by the individual student based on their academic interests and it takes the form of independent research. The project provides students with the opportunity to deepen their knowledge in an area they are interested in, whilst gaining and improving independent research and organisational skills that are required for successful university study, and as such it is highly regarded by admissions officers. Students are supported by an individual project supervisor and additional taught sessions are provided to give guidance on key areas such as referencing.
