What the college says

The Extended Project is a qualification that is completely different from other studies in the sixth form. This is because the student chooses their project from an area of personal interest or activity outside their main programme of study. It will be based on a topic chosen by the student and agreed as appropriate by the student's teacher. While there will be some teaching, this will mostly be comprised of generic skills such as research and referencing. The teacher is not allowed to deliver any of the subject content and, as such, no part of the project can be based on any area that is being taught or has been taught for a current or previous qualification.
