The Extended Project is one of the most exciting parts of the final years of the Sixth Form years and certainly very rewarding.

EPQ is an A-level standalone qualification designed to extend and develop students’ abilities beyond the A-level scope through reflection, problem solving, independent learning etc. It prepares students for a university or future career.

The EPQ allows students to lead their own projects. Students get to plan and carry out research on a topic they’ve chosen and isn’t covered by their qualification. Students can take inspiration from a topic covered in class, personal research in a field of interest, conference they have attended in the past etc. The course is taught across three terms from Spring or Winter with moderation happening in January and June

This qualification is assessed by the tutor-assessor with external moderation.

The qualification consists of four units, one of which should be selected. All are equally weighted. All units are internally assessed. Learners must not select more than one unit.

A-level EPQ is a nine month program.

Upon completion of the A-level in EPQ, students will achieve an Edexcel qualification ( providing that all exams have been completed and passed). The final certificate will allow students to apply to their chosen university. This qualification supports progression into training or employment by developing skills in key areas such as planning, research, project management and self-reflection.

  • Students whose English is not their first language, are required to either sit an internal English assessment or provide an English certificate at a min level B2 in all components.
