Academic Projects

The project qualification allows students to demonstrate self-management and evaluation, information literacy and communication skills and to achieve a GCSE level qualification. The project should be a hugely enjoyable undertaking for anyone because the possibilities are endless and students can pursue areas of genuine enthusiasm. The skills used encompass all New Hall Learning Habits. They underpin all academic study and are intended to be transferable, helping students to develop into more effective learners in a range of subjects.

AQA Level 2 Project 7992

In many cases students are allocated timetabled lessons, but the Project can also be undertaken as a co-curricular activity.

In both cases, each student is assigned a supervisor, who will help to monitor progress and ensure that key research and management skills are developed. In addition, students are encouraged to access further support from the Project Co-ordinator. We use Project Q software to plan and monitor the development of projects.

Most projects take between 10 and 18 months to complete, depending on individual choices and timetables. Students considering choosing to undertake a Project are welcome to discuss their plans with the Project Coordinator at any stage.
