Well done to all our Year 12 students who exhibited their Extended Project Qualification work at our EPQ Marketplace in the main hall last term.
The EPQ gives Sixth Form students the chance to take learning into their own hands. It allows students to explore a subject of personal interest while developing valuable skills in research, organisation and independent study.
There were some impressive and fascinating studies this year including...
"Is imprisonment an effective way to deter crime? A case study of the UK, US and Finland"
"To what extent did changes in women's fashion in the UK, from the Victorian era to the present day, reflect wider shifts in women's social status"
"Do the environmental benefits of AI outweigh the environmental costs?"
"How far can it be argued that ADHD can be induced by an intake of artificial additives or preservatives in children?"
"Can a drone recover and return after a collision, without any physical human interaction, over 250m away from the operator?"
Staff and students, including those at school for the Sixth Form Induction Day, were invited to visit the exhibition and speak to the students about their projects and their findings. All our EPQ students confidently presented their projects to all the exhibition visitors, and should be really proud of their achievements on their chosen projects!
Well done Year 12!
