They are actively encouraged to seek out ways in which they can apply the knowledge they have learnt in the classroom to a wider context. Whether it be through competitions, group challenges, essay prizes, trips, or additional workshops, we support them in asking questions about the wider world and developing independent thought.
By undertaking a research-based, independent project centred on their academic passions, students can explore a topic they’re interested in outside of the classroom, on their own terms. These projects can either take the form of an artefact – a physical product of some kind; such as an art piece, video essay, or coding project – or a dissertation.
Students are given time and space in their Diploma sessions each week to develop their ideas and plan their approach. They are also introduced to a variety of research skills crucial to the development of their project.
