Life at Blue Coat is much more than academic achievement. Our curriculum provides all students with 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.

EPQ

As a Blue Coat student, you will automatically be enrolled for the Extended Project Qualification. All students are expected to complete this as a compulsory part of their A level studies as we firmly believe it bridges a gap between A level studies and University or the workplace.

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.
