The EPQ (Extended Project Qualification) is a level 3 qualification: all of our HAPs pupils, in Year 12/13, are encouraged to complete the project and gain a highly desirable qualification. Students can write a dissertation, conduct a research project/investigation, plan an event or create an artefact. The qualification assesses the students' ability to: time manage, plan, research and evaluate. The majority of study is independent - with a set number of teacher guided hours.

Fantastic Results for Our First EPQ Cohort
August 2016
After a lot of hard work, our first EPQ cohort achieved amazing, well deserved results (including two A* grades). What is even more pleasing is to see how much the project qualification is helping the students, now university undergraduates, with their studies.
Some email comments from former EPQ pupils:
"...I thought I'd email you to tell you how much EPQ has helped me already...the amount of books I've been told to read, I've already read because of it!" Aimee
"...I just thought I would tell you, as part of my Product Awareness module at uni, I've been told to read a book...the same book that I got from the library, read and extracted evidence from to help form opinions for my EPQ dissertation...how relevant my EPQ is becoming...it has given me a head start."
