‘…at school you know a few facts about lots of different subjects, but to really learn about something – you feel…like and expert. Alexandra, student, Aylesbury High School

Requirements

Required evidence

All Project students follow the same basic Project process and have to supply the following evidence for assessment:

  • Project product, in the form of a research report, production or artefact
  • Written report*
  • Presentation of the completed Project
  • Completed Production Log.

*a written report must accompany a production or an artefact

The Research report

It is up to your student to choose whether to make a research report the sole product of the Project or to create a product in another format, such as a production or artefact.

If it is the sole product, the research report could take the form of an academic essay, research report of an investigation, exploration of a hypothesis, or academic report.  

If the product takes another format, the student will still need to supply a shorter supplementary written report.

At Level 1 Foundation, the minimum length of the reports must be:

  • Research report – 1000 words
  • Supplementary written report – 250-500 words

Reports should be long enough to explore the relevant issues and use appropriate terminology, style and form of writing.
