Assessment

Wellingborough School follows the Pearson syllabus for Extended Project Qualification. The final project is graded A* - E and is the equivalent in UCAS points of half a full A level. Marking is completed internally and then moderated externally by Pearson. Students will usually undertake the project in September of the Lower 6th and submit in April of the same academic year. However, there is the opportunity to undertake an EPQ as an Upper 6th student, or to begin in the Lower 6th and complete in the Upper 6th, depending on the other academic commitments a student has. One of the real strengths of this qualification is its flexibility, both in terms of choice of content and completion time.
