EPQ (Extended Project Qualification)

Students in Sixth Form can opt to carry out an extended Project Qualification (EPQ) and we have seen some truly outstanding project proposals since this subject was introduced to the curriculum. The qualification is equivalent to an AS Level course that involves a university style research project. It can be submitted in either an essay or artefact form and culminates in a presentation in front of an audience
