Course summary

Students can choose to take the highly regarded Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) where they choose a topic which they then independently research, write up and present. Frequently, for example, students choose to focus on an area of personal interest which is directly relevant to their HE choice and which helps demonstrate their interest and commitment as well as developing their specialist vocabulary and knowledge. Our experience is that this qualification is extremely beneficial in a number of ways. A large number of institutions recognise the grades/points attained or make a lower grade offer, and the explicit feedback from HE is that the skills developed through taking the EPQ, such as independent working, planning, time management, research, referencing, extended structured writing and presentation skills - have huge advantages in preparing students for HE and for work.

Entry requirements

We expect pupils joining us at the Sixth Form level to have attained five or more GCSEs at grade C or above. Experience has shown us that this level of prior attainment indicates a pupil who can cope with the demands of our Sixth Form curriculum. We will, however, consider each case on its merits.
