Widening pupils’ horizons beyond the scope of the classroom is an important dimension of Sixth Form life, as is the promotion of independent learning skills. In the Sixth Form we offer the chance to gain the equivalent of an additional qualification by participating in the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). Elements of the EPQ are delivered within the College’s activities programme alongside timetabled lessons and all Lower Sixth students will be offered the opportunity to participate in elements of the course, although the majority of the work is carried out independently by the students involved. Please see the subject entry in this booklet for further information. Students also participate in the College’s tutorial program which covers a wide range of issues, skills and themes relevant to Sixth Form life and preparation for life beyond Denstone. All pupils at Denstone are also encouraged to participate in our Denstone Diploma, an enrichment and extension programme comprising a range of departmentally-based challenges, activities and competitions.
