EPQ Eloquence

College II girls completed their extended project qualification (EPQ) presentations yesterday evening. Head of College Michael Spiers paid tribute the scope and depth of the girls’ research and eloquent presentations, declaring “College I, please do take note, this year’s presentations have been truly outstanding.”
The girls’ presentations covered a fascinating range of topics which included:
The Mount’s College EPQ programme provides girls with a meaningful opportunity to enhance their university applications and counts toward their total Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) points. The examining board, AQA, says on their website, “The EPQ allows each student to embark on a largely self-directed and self-motivated project. Students must choose a topic, plan, research and develop their idea and decide on their finished product.”
Head of Careers, Wendy Thompson, says, “At The Mount we have found that university admissions departments and employers take an increasingly active interest in our girls’ EPQ process and product where they have completed a independently directed in-depth research project which they can discuss at length in interviews.”
