What the college says

The EPQ qualification has been designed to develop Sixth Form students' project skills. It is a unique qualification because it allows the student to choose their own topic and outcome. The student could choose to submit a traditional 5000 word essay or create a video, booklet, pamphlet, dress, scientific experiment, song or dramatic performance, all of which have been done at George Spencer Academy. The student will begin with guided hours in the classroom but will increasingly work more independently as the project develops. At the conclusion of the project the students will have three pieces of evidence to submit for marking: the completed project, a log book detailing all planning and evaluation and a presentation.
