Subjects offered at post 16: Extended Project Qualification. (EPQ)
Our EPQ allows each student to embark on a largely self-directed and self-motivated project. Students must choose a topic, plan, research and develop their idea and decide on their finished product.
We encourage creativity and curiosity. A project topic may be directly related to a student's main study programme, but should look beyond the specification. A finished product may take the form of a:
research based written report
production* (eg charity event, fashion show or sports event etc)
an artefact* (eg piece of art, a computer game or realised design).
It is an independent research task and involves you either writing an extended essay of about 5,000 words or creating a product with an accompanying shorter essay of about 1,000 words. This product could be anything from a drone to an app to a music composition.
