Extended Project Qualification
All Sixth Form students are also able to complete a Level 3 Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) which is equivalent to half an A-level. This is a student-led, independent research project, designed to develop pupils’ research, study and project management skills, as well as their knowledge of a chosen topic. Students work with a chosen supervisor to produce either a 5,000-word written report or an ‘artefact’; the latter may take many forms, from a piece of artwork, to an engineered product, a script, or a piece of creative writing. The EPQ is well-respected by UK universities and can often result in a reduced acceptance offer.
In addition to their main studies, Sixth Form students also:
- have sports training three times per week
- attend Life and Wellbeing Education (LWE) classes
- have the option to join Learning Support or EAL sessions as necessary. This includes preparation for the IELTS exams required for non-native English speakers to enter UK universities
- may take a qualification in their native language if this is not English
- spend time with their tutor on a daily basis
- have fortnightly Careers lectures or workshops
- attend a weekly Chapel service
