The EPQ is a unique qualification, assessed by A level criteria (therefore it is possible to gain an A*), but worth the equivalent of an AS Level in UCAS points. Past projects from Wells pupils have been as diverse as looking at the effect that Chanel’s life had on her work, building a sports coaching website, and answering the question, “Should badgers be culled in an attempt to control Bovine Tuberculosis in the UK? An EPQ could include: • A design • A report with findings from an investigation or study • A dissertation presenting an argument • An artefact • A performance
For Sixth Form entry, we will require predicted grades as well as actual grades in the summer, to ensure that our published entry requirements are met. Pupils will need satisfactory IGCSE or GCSE results in at least six subjects at grades 9-4 (A* to C ) and typically a minimum of grade 7 or 6 (A or B) in the chosen areas of Sixth Form study. Exceptions to this may be made for those following a Specialist Music course.
