The nature of an EPQ is to allow the students to design their own project. Each student works with a supervisor over the year. A project can take many forms. Students keep a logbook of decision making, research and planning which is assessed at the end with their product. A product could take the form of a 5000 word essay or an artefact. An artefact could be a film, a book, a piece of music, a dramatic production or a solid object like a dress. There is very little limitation on what a student can choose to do. The project requires students to plan and research independently. It is a great way to prepare for the world of work and university.
The Extended Project is open to all students in the sixth form. It is expected that students begin a project in September of the Lower Sixth after some initial discussions with your supervisor and then aim to complete it by May in that academic year.
The project is assessed as an A level and scores UCAS tariff grades. Candidates receive their grade in the August of the academic year in which they started the project.
