Study Skills

Course summary

Alongside their A-Levels, pupils in the 6th Form are encouraged to undertake an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) — an A-Level equivalent that can be worth up to 28 UCAS points. The EPQ has been designed to develop pupils’ research and investigative skills and allows them to embark on a largely self-directed project; this helps to develop independent learning and extended academic writing skills essential for success at university. The EPQ is highly valued by universities, including several from the Russell Group.
