The Extended Project Qualification is offered as part of the Sixth Form enrichment programme. It is assessed by AQA and is worth half an A Level. It is widely recognised by leading universities as excellent preparation for university study and, as a consequence, many institutions will adapt their offers based on a good performance in the EPQ. The EPQ provides an opportunity for students to develop their own interests through independent research under the guidance of an internal supervisor at Mayfield School. Whereas A Level courses necessarily cover a set specification, the EPQ is designed to give students greater control and freedom in an area of study. Independent research projects can be on any topic. They can overlap with, combine and extend the studies undertaken in taught subjects. Projects usually take the form of a 5,000-word essay, but it can also be an event managed, an investigation undertaken, or an artefact created.
