Study Skills

Assessment

The Extended Project process begins with choosing a topic area which pupils then research independently. An individual title is crafted and an extended essay written. All the way, guidance is given on how to find academic resources and how to recognise which resources are most reliable. The research part of the process continues roughly from September to December. Then the essay is written, usually between January and Easter. During this time, instruction is offered on how to write in an analytical way. At the end of the Lent term pupils present their projects at a poster event where they create a display to demonstrate their findings and answer questions on what they have learned from undertaking an Extended Project.
