What the college says

The EPQ is a standalone qualification designed to extend and develop students' skills in independent research and project management. It is worth exactly half of an A Level and is graded A* to E. The EPQ requires students to carry out research on a topic of their own choice; it may extend, but not replicate, their other qualifications. They then use this research to produce either an extended written report or a practical outcome. A student can take inspiration from something studied in class or something completely unrelated to their studies, such as a hobby. Where students have a particular future plan in mind, it is often beneficial to link this to their choice of EPQ topic. Please contact Backwell School to discuss this course information in more detail.
