Students taking the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) choose a question in any subject area, research that topic and finally write a 5,000 word essay to answer their original question. You will also be expected to present your findings at an EPQ event, talking to teachers, parents and students about your topic, your research, and what you discovered.
For new students, entry to the Sixth Form is dependent on GCSE grades, an interview with the Headmaster and a school reference. To enter our Sixth Form and be successful, we like to see grade 7s in the GCSE subjects a student wishes to take at A Level (8s for Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Maths) or in relevant subjects, with at least six grades 6s overall. We also accept students onto BTEC Sport and Exercise Science plus one A Level. For this combination, we like to see at least six grade 5s at GCSE overall, with a 7 in a relevant subject for the A Level. Below this attainment level, likely, we are not the right match for a student, although we are happy to discuss exceptional circumstances.
