Wider Enrichment
Life at Blue Coat is much more than academic achievement. Our new curriculum will give all students a much broader programme of enrichment opportunities.
At The Blue Coat School we encourage creativity and curiosity and place great value on developing our students’ abilities to be self-directed and self-motivated.
As a Blue Coat student, you will automatically be prepared for the Extended Project Qualification. The Extended Project Qualification provides students with the opportunity to complete an independent research project on a topic of their choosing. It is an opportunity for students to extend their abilities beyond their sixth-form courses of study. The EPQ fosters independent research and report writing skills in line with current university standards. The qualification is worth 28 UCAS points and, as such, is looked on favorably by universities and other institutions considering admissions.
