Course summary

This much-valued and well-supported qualification is designed to nurture the skills of project management and help pupils to work independently to bring a process through to fruition. The choice of topic for an extended project is entirely up to the individual pupil, subject to approval by the EPQ Coordinator. Topics can relate to some aspect of one or more of a pupil’s A Level choices, but need not, and will have to extend the pupil beyond what they would otherwise have studied. The end-product of the pupil’s research is either a 5000 word ‘long report’, or a 1000 word ‘short report’ to accompany an artefact or performance (which could be a piece of artwork, technology, a video recording etc.).

Entry requirements

Sixth Form, conditional on them achieving at least three GCSEs at Grade 7 and three GCSEs at Grade 5 (or three A and three B grades).
