An optional part of the Year 12 curriculum, the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) allows you to explore your academic and personal interests beyond the syllabus and develop independent study skills. The project develops and extends from one or more of your study areas and/or from an area of personal interest or activity outside of the A-level course. The qualification is based on a topic of your choice and developed through discussion with a personal supervisor. Whether it’s investigating the causes of antibiotic resistance, analysing fantasy novels, composing a piece of music, or designing and building your own quadcopter, the EPQ is an excellent opportunity to pursue your passions, enhance your A-level study, and prepare for the challenges of university. The EPQ develops and assesses skills as well as knowledge.
Joining the Sixth Form is by interview and on the basis of academic achievement at GCSE. Applicants are invited to interview following a report from their current school indicating their predicted GCSE grades. The likely offer made, following a successful interview, will be conditional on a minimum of 5 A / 7 grades, with A / 7 grades in the subjects to be taken in the Sixth Form.
