The Extended Project is a nationally recognised qualification that allows students to demonstrate their abilities to research and develop an idea of their own. This may take the form of an investigation, an artefact, a performance or a dissertation depending on the content of the piece. Students involved in the Project will be free to choose their own topics. Students who have followed the Project so far have chosen topics as different as traffic control in major cities, youth crime, William Rufus and writing and recording a collection of music, so you can see the range is huge. For each project students will need to provide: • A proposal form which explains the Project – students will not be able to move on until this is done • A record of the student’s working practice in the form of a time plan. This is to provide evidence for the 120 ‘Guided Learning Hours’ • The Project! • A presentation • A review of the Project They will, however, be given guidance on how to research, how to plan and manage their time and also on how to record evidence of their progress. The Project can be done in a year with completion and moderation in Term 5 of Year 12 or in a suggested eighteen month format for entry in January of Year 13. • Students will need to be prepared to work in their own time and independently. They will receive guidance but they will not be chased. This is a mirror of the University experience. • Students should consider this as part of their planning for going to University • Students will have regular tutorials with their supervising teacher.
