Study Skills

Course summary

Course Outline: This is a one year course, focused around completing an extended project, designed to ‘stretch and challenge’ students. It is worth half an A level and as such offers an A* grade. Skills: Students will have a significant input into the choice and design of their project. They will develop their own learning and performance as critical, reflective and independent learners. The project will require the use of higher order skills such as critical thinking, planning, analysis, synthesis, reflection and evaluation as well as effective project management. Future progressions from this course: Students will have developed a toolkit of useful skills that will enable them to prepare for independent learning in higher education or provide experience for project based work in employment.
