The EPQ is a process-driven qualification with approximately two-thirds of the marks awarded for planning, use of resources, time management and self-evaluation. Delivery of the EPQ will involve 30 hours of taught skills sessions, as well as supervision and assessment of the student’s progress. It will involve extended autonomous work by the student of approximately 90 hours. The Extended Project Qualification offers opportunities for students to: - Develop and extend from an area of personal interest or activity outside the main programme of study. - Improve their learning and performance as critical, reflective and independent learners. - Apply decision-making and problem-solving skills. - Extend their planning, research, critical thinking, analysis, synthesis, evaluation and presentation skills.
It is expected that pupils of all abilities can succeed in attaining an EPQ but the demanding nature of the qualification means that applications are carefully scrutinised. In particular, students are expected to have good organisational skills, an ability to meet deadlines and should have good written English skills.
There are three parts to the assessment of the EPQ: - A project product. Generally a written report of 5000 words (or an artefact with an accompanying report of at least 1000 words). - A 15-minute presentation for a non-specialist audience with a further 10 minutes of live questions from the audience. - A research diary with evidence of the development of the project. The final submission of all assessment evidence will be in June of the L6 year.
