EXCITING NEW TYPE OF COURSE
FOR 2008
There is a new A level course, which is currently being
delivered by a select group of Sixth Forms. We
are pleased to be able to be part of the group of Sixth
Forms to offer the Extended Project Qualification,
which is research based.
It will provide an excellent insight into University
style research whilst supporting A level coursework in
any subject. We have been given the opportunity for
10 students to join the national pilot. Our aim is for
students to develop individual community based research
projects and will suit students from aspiring
lawyers to medics, scientists, psychologists, linguists,
business and IT specialists, technologists, art students,
human and environmental geographers, earth
and environmental scientists, historians, aspiring musicians,
theatre and dance performers, sport leaders,
English, media and film specialists, mathematicians
and perhaps above all philosophy and ethics students!
Further information is imminent!
If you are interested please contact the Sixth
Form Office, as places are strictly limited to 10.
