Everything you need to know


about the EPQ By Annabel Heseltine, editor of School House Magazine


“The EPQ can be thought of like a mini thesis. It presents pupils with a chance to pursue a topic of study which is totally of their own choosing and unconstrained by an exam syllabus. “There are a number of factors that have led to its popularity in recent years. In the first instance, there can be little doubt that the desire to secure places at a leading Russell Group university is the key factor that motivates pupils to pursue it as a course of study. With fierce competition for places at the best universities, the EPQ is becoming one way in which pupils can stand out from the crowd. “The EPQ also allows pupils to do something totally different and outside of the mainstream of their in-class subject choices. It gives pupils an opportunity to explore fields of study not open to them in the usual A Level subject choices.”


Success for Sibford students


In 2017 Sibford pupils gained some excellent EPQ results. Finn, whose project was titled: ‘Is there a legitimate reason for literature to be considered ‘classic’?’ received an A*. Meanwhile A grades were awarded to Nick for his project ‘Can respite care offer significant benefit to the Autistic child?’ and Honor for her project ‘Did media coverage affect public opinion during the Vietnam war?’ In a written report, the exam moderator said of Finn’s work: “The originality and level of enquiry was worthy of full marks and the report was fascinating, intellectually intriguing and beautifully written.”
