EPQ, Data Analytics & Mathematical Studies

In addition to their three Level 3 subjects, students in Year 12 will also complete an AS/ AAQ qualification in either EPQ (Extended Project Qualification), Data Analytics, or Mathematical Studies. EPQ is a research project culminating in a 5000 word essay. Mathematical Studies is a course designed to examine students’ knowledge of maths in real-life situations. From September 2025 we are also running an AAQ in Data Analytics which supports students in developing practical IT skills. All three qualifications are equally weighted. Students resitting GCSE English Language or GCSE Maths are exempt.
