EPQ Presentation Evening

October 5, 2017

Parents, staff and students came together for a special celebratory event for the Upper Sixth EPQ students.

The Extended Project Qualification is worth half an A Level and is highly valued by universities because it encourages the development of independent learning and research skills. The students chosen topics were both diverse and fascinating, ranging from water cooling computer processing, a film on dyslexia and a photography exhibition. Each student presented on their research journey and the findings of their projects and the audience was impressed with the depth and rigour of their research.
