Dronfield Henry Fanshawe School

Core Maths or EPQ are an integral part of the Sixth Form curriculum that students should undertake. As well as providing an additional qualification for Sixth Form students, they will help them to develop the higher order thinking skills required for A-level study. Core Maths will help students develop further mathematical skills to deal with subjects like science, computer science and psychology. EPQ will help students develop independent research skills. In Year 13, alternative courses are available, such as support for STEP papers. Some students may be required to undertake additional work, for example the Extended Project Qualification, if their number of ‘study hours’ (the number of lessons they attend in a week) is too low.
