All pupils taking the equivalent of three A Levels or BTEC qualifications will also undertake an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), whilst those taking four A Levels may opt in to the EPQ. This project allows students to embark on a significant piece of self-directed research in which they not only become more critical, reflective and independent learners, but also develop increased planning, research, analysis, synthesis, evaluation and presentation skills. The EPQ qualification is highly valued by universities, and is increasingly explicitly credited within university offers. It is seen as an indicator of intellectual independence and maturity in the fiercely competitive arena of entrant selection.
For automatic entry into the Sixth Form a minimum of eight grade Bs (6 point average) at IGCSE/GCSE is required. If students fall short of this mark by gaining some C grades, an equivalent number of higher grades in other subjects may be acceptable. Most of our pupils work towards achieving the IB Diploma or three A Level subjects. Slightly above the eight B grade hurdle and certainly below it, a different programme of study may be more appropriate and each case will be considered individually. Ideally pupils will gain at least a grade A (7 points) at IGCSE/GCSE in a subject (or a related subject) they wish to study at IB Higher Level or for A Level, and certainly they should not score less than a B grade. For Mathematics, Modern Foreign Languages and the Sciences, A grades (7 points) at GCSE or IGCSE are expected.
