Fyling Hall’s first Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is well and truly underway in Sixth Form.

Ailsa has researched, shadowed professionals and created an extensive journalistic sketchbook to preempt the making of an ambitious tutu inspired by her love of dance and specifically ballet.

This remarkable journey has required self motivation and determination to produce such an outstanding practical piece.

The benefits of a completing an EPQ have proven to be more than our students had imagined. Ailsa said that she felt proud of her efforts and that the skills she had learned would be transferable way beyond the qualification and  have developed her independent learning beyond all expectations.

We look forward to seeing the final presentation of Ailsa’s project and hope that it inspires the other sixth form students to continue as we have started. An Extended Project Qualification Project is rewarding on many levels!
