More Excellent EPQ Results

January 17, 2019

Aldenham School’s EPQ results were published this week with outstanding grades:

100% A* – C
91% A* – B
73% A* – A
55% A*

Congratulations to our Upper Sixth EPQ students on achieving this standard, six months before their A Level examinations. Not only did our students achieve 100% A* – C, one student even achieved 100% of the raw marks for his EPQ.

The Extended Project Qualification is worth half of an A Level and is highly valued by universities because it encourages the development of independent learning and research skills. Our students chose a diverse and fascinating range of topics, ranging from dyslexia, football analytics, bitcoin and Atlantic Roundhouses. The EPQs were produced in a variety of ways, ranging from composing an operetta, teaching a Year 1 class, performing a cost-benefit analysis and creating a collection of garments.

Generative AI Assembly

Year 10 took part in an assembly exploring generative AI, preparing them for RileyBot sessions in their upcoming tutor time. Students explored how AI can be misused, from edited images to inaccurate translations and why it’s important to think critically. A fun translation challenge helped us spot who relied on AI and who didn’t!
