Habs Diploma Extended Research Project Prize Giving Ceremony Programme

Habs Diploma Extended Research Project Prize Giving Ceremony

THURSDAY 5 FEBRUARY - BOURNE HALL

The Extended Research Project began in September 2020 as a new initiative across our two schools. It builds on and takes the best of two existing prizes for Sixth Form scholarship: the Aske Project from Habs Boys’ and the St Catherine’s Prize from Habs Girls’ School. It forms a key component of the Habs Diploma.

Lower Sixth students across both schools produce an independent project over the course of the year, under the supervision of a staff member. They decide on their topic and title before submitting the finished article in June the following year.

The projects are then marked by subject supervisors according to set critera and most projects receiving a Distinction are sent to external examiners whose recommendations form the basis of the awards.

The Extended Research Project extends students beyond their studies allowing them to develop research tools and an expertise in their chosen area.
