What the college says

AQA - The EPQ is an additional qualifcation that the Sixth Form offers students during Year 13. It allows students to have the opportunity to research a topic of their choice with the support from a supervisor and a fortnightly lesson with the EPQ Coordinator; their project may be in the form of a research-based written report or an artefact. The EPQ is worth up to 28 UCAS points, which is equivalent to half an A2 Level. The EPQ is a fantastic opportunity to extend their experience of independent learning, on a topic of their own choice, whether that be a personal interest or a subject they wish to continue into higher education. Throughout the course, students develop enhanced research and independent learning skills which prepare them for the demands of higher education, university and the workplace. It is highly regarded by many universities and is very popular and successful with our students.
