former Headmistress, Bernice McCabe, students are given the academic freedom to pursue research in a topic that they are passionate about.\u00a0 In the Autumn Term of Year 12 students will choose which route to take.\u00a0 The McCabe Project, although not leading to a formal qualification will be assessed by subject specialists and prizes will be awarded for outstanding projects.\u00a0 The project allows students the opportunity to demonstrate and draw upon their experience of carrying out independent research and presenting their findings either in a 3000-word report\/dissertation or through the artefact and performance route which requires a much shorter written report.<\/h5>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<h5>Both The McCabe Project or the EPQ will enable students to demonstrate their experience of carrying out independent research.\u00a0 All UK universities recognise independent study and research as valuable skills to develop.<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n

by universities.
