In addition to their A Level and Cambridge Technical qualifications listed on the following pages, many Lower Sixth students also choose to take the EPQ. The EPQ is a self-directed research project and as a standalone qualification it is worth up to 28 UCAS points. It is a good way to increase points for university applications and some will also make it part of a formal offer, often involving lower grades. You will choose a subject of your own choice – the topic may complement one of your A Level subjects but the research must be original and look beyond the core curriculum. It is a chance for you to investigate a topic that fascinates you and develop and demonstrate your project management skills. All students undertaking the EPQ at WGS are taught how to approach the project as well as being allocated a supervisor to support them in addition to the research support offered by the dedicated Sixth Form Library.
An average GCSE score of 5.5 across a minimum of 7 subjects is required for entry to our Sixth Form along with a satisfactory school report. Further details can be found below in the key information section.
