At Kesgrave we feel it is important that our students have opportunities that will enable them to have a well-rounded experience of sixth form life. All Year 12 students can choose an elective option from our programme alongside their subjects. Some of which carry additional qualifications & others allow students to develop a new skill or offer support to lower school students.

EPQ

The Extended Project Qualification is where students are required to complete their own project on a topic of their choice, using a variety of resources and skills which they will be taught by the EPQ coordinator. They are required to either create an artefact or a written report. In terms of UCAS points it is worth half an A-Level, and they will learn how to work independently on their own project. Highly received by universities.

Level Up

This programme gives students the opportunity to build new skills around key areas: employability, life skills and social action. The level up programme will allow them to build their work readiness and boots their CV, builds independence and have a positive impact on the world.
