Extended Project Qualification

<< Back to all enrichment
INTRODUCING THIS EXCITING ENRICHMENT OPPORTUNITY

The EPQ is a chance to gain a recognised qualification (weighted as half an A-Level), by allowing you to embark on a largely self-directed and self-motivated project of your choice.

Students independently choose a topic, plan, research and develop their idea and decide on their finished product. A finished product may take the form of a research based written report a production or an artefact. 

HOW OFTEN DOES THIS ENRICHMENT TAKE PLACE?

This enrichment takes place in your first year. Typically, you will be expected to attend 2 sessions per week. You will also have independent time to complete work.

WHAT WILL I GET OUT OF IT?

A recognised qualification which is equivalent to half an a Level in UCAS points.

IS THERE A COST OR ANY REQUIRED RESOURCES?

This is a free enrichment.

My experience at Wyke has been an overwhelming success. I thought that moving from a small school to a larger college would be a daunting experience yet it wasn’t at all. Everyone is so friendly and approachable. Flyers has provided me with so many useful skills and experiences which I will never forget.
