Students identify a research question or hypothesis to investigate. By using the support of taught sessions and one to one supervisor meetings students will realise their project through the form of a production log, written report and presentation. Students might also opt to create an artefact or put on an event. Successful projects will be awarded grades through A*-C by the AQA exam board.
This well respected qualification has a successful history and Warden Park and provides an opportunity for students to develop a wide range of character traits and skills.
The HPQ is offered to year 9 and 10 students through our twilight curriculum. Students following the Ingenium GCSE option will complete the HPQ as an integral component of the course.
