Waldegrave School Summer Magazine 2024

EPQ PRESENTATIONS MBA Marketplace Our Year 12 Waldegrave MBA students have been busy participating in the Peter Jones Tycoon Competition over the last four months, marking the final part of their qualification. This nationwide competition required students to set up and run their own businesses. Recently, they hosted a marketplace event to sell their remaining stock to fellow students and teachers. A variety of fantastic products were on offer, including homemade

brownies and handmade jewellery. Business was booming, and all participants made a healthy profit, showcasing their entrepreneurial skills. EPQ Presentations At the end of last term, some of our Sixth Form EPQ students delivered their final presentations, impressing staff with their deep understanding of their chosen topics and confident delivery. The EPQ (Extended Project Qualification) is an optional enrichment in the sixth form that allows students to explore areas of personal

MBA MARKET- PLACE academic interest. The presentations were the result of months of dedicated research. This year’s project themes included Donut Economics, The Impact of Mental Health on the Economy, and The Impact of the Media on the Judicial System. “Undertaking an EPQ has been a remarkable experience, providing me with the opportunity to explore a new area that interests me personally. This process has presented me with skills in creative thinking, independent work and time management, which will benefit me in the future. From conducting comprehensive research to presenting

my ideas, the EPQ has enhanced my capabilities and confidence, making it a challenging yet thoroughly rewarding process.” - Kiera “I really enjoyed having the independence to learn about a topic I was passionate about outside of the school curriculum. I have learnt some transferable skills such as referencing which will be helpful at University and found the project interesting and worthwhile.” - Marta
