What the college says

An EPQ (Extended Project Qualification) is, to put it simply, a BIG independent project for which you’ll earn a qualification. It involves writing an essay of about 5000 words, a pretty long piece of paperwork about your research and how you approached your project, and a final presentation where you’ll talk through this essay and paperwork. Alternatively, you can make an ‘artefact’ - this can be a piece of artwork, or something else you’ve physically made – and an accompanying shorter essay. You will receive lessons and guidance on how to go about the EPQ, but you’ll have to do most of it in your own allocated time, so you need to be able to organise your other subjects and commitments around this.

5 GCSEs, graded 4 or above, to include English and Maths.
