Course Outline: This is a one year course, focused around completing an extended project, designed to ‘stretch and challenge’ students. It is worth half an A level and as such offers an A* grade. Skills: Students will have a significant input into the choice and design of their project. They will develop their own learning and performance as critical, reflective and independent learners. The project will require the use of higher order skills such as critical thinking, planning, analysis, synthesis, reflection and evaluation as well as effective project management. Future progressions from this course: Students will have developed a toolkit of useful skills that will enable them to prepare for independent learning in higher education or provide experience for project based work in employment.
A minimum of five GCSE grade 5s or above. This will be available for Year 12 students studying AS Levels. The EPQ is the equivalent to an AS Level, students will apply to study the EPQ after AS exams in June.
