Course summary

Students in Higher Line are offered the opportunity of gaining an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). The EPQ, which is an AQA qualification, provides an opportunity for students to extend their abilities beyond the A Level syllabus, stand out and prepare for university or their future career. It is the equivalent to half of an A Level in terms of UCAS points. The EPQ encourages creativity and curiosity. A project topic may be directly related to a student's main academic options.

Entry requirements

To help you achieve the best grades possible at A level we ask that you choose the subjects you enjoy, have an interest in and did well in at GCSE. In most cases, this means you will have achieved at least a grade 6 at GCSE in the subjects you wish to study at A level. This does not apply to all A-level subjects we offer, for example, Politics and Psychology, as it is unlikely you will have studied either at GCSE. We will discuss entry requirements in these instances with you.
