Extended Project
at The Douay Martyrs Catholic School, Uxbridge · school or sixth form
What the college says
The 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.
What you need to get on
General 6th Form entry requirements. The Extended Project Qualification will start during Year 12. Students should be highly motivated and organised. These skills are essential as the majority of work is completed in non-lesson time and students will have to be independent in their approach.
How you are assessed
Entry level and Level 1 study, English and maths retakes, and supported programmes.
What this level means
The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.
Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?
Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.

Who else teaches this exact qualification
