Projects

Do you have an interest you’d like to explore further? Or perhaps you’d like to extend your learning beyond one of your A-level subjects? If so, the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) could fulfil that wish. It is run as an elective course in the 6th form. 

The EPQ is an opportunity for you to take the lead on developing your independent research and study skills while researching a topic that you’re passionate about. You’ll learn report-writing and presentation skills, conduct research and analyse and evaluate your findings, and complete your project with either a written report or by creating an artefact. 

This student-led qualification puts you in charge and can enhance performance in your A-level subjects and beyond into higher education and the workplace. Worth half an A-level and counting towards UCAS points, having an EPQ will help you to stand out from the crowd in university applications, plus many universities will give lower A-level offers to students with an EPQ. 

Stowe also provides academic scholars the opportunity to complete Higher Project Qualification (HPQ) starting in the 4th form and running into 5th form as part of their scholarship programme.
