What the college says

Students are offered the opportunity to undertake the Extended Project as it proves that they can conduct independent learning. The Extended Project is highly regarded by universities and employers as evidence of an individual?s ability to work independently and manage a project. Students can choose any topic that they like as long as it is not something they study in detail as part of their A level courses. Their project can be presented either as a dissertation (5 000 word essay) or an artefact. The artefact might be a physical product, a musical composition, a performance etc. All artefacts must be accompanied by a 1 000 written report outlining the process of production.A key part of the project is how students choose and refine their project theme. It is recommended that students require 120 guided learning hours together with a significant amount of independent study in order to complete the project. They will be supported in school with timetabled lessons overseen by their Project Supervisor who will help guide them through the process.Places are limited to 50 students in Year 12.See school website for latest information using provided link and navigating to 'Sixth Form Subject Directory'
