EPQ (AS Level - Optional)

Assessment

An EPQ allows students to demonstrate their independent working skills, with a minimum of 60 self-led hours on the project, this should be completed not just in lesson but also in iLearns or outside of school hours. This will be combined with 30 hours of taught skills to accumulate to a 90-hour course, examined via coursework. By the end of the course students will have either created a 5000-word dissertation or an artefact with a 1000-word report, accompanied by a record of their planning and research. At the beginning and end of the course students will need to do a presentation about their chosen topic. The EPQ project is internally moderated by the School’s EPQ Coordinator and externally moderated through the exam board.
