EPQ Top Band Marking Guide with Student Checklists (AQA)

EPQ Supervisor Complete Pack: Taught Skills, Top-Band Marking & Student Guide (AO1–AO4)

A complete EPQ supervision toolkit: taught skills with supervisor guidance, top-band marking guide, and student step-by-step support. All written by one of the most experienced centre coordinators in the UK. This comprehensive EPQ supervision pack is designed for supervisors, coordinators, and centres seeking clarity, consistency, and defensible assessment across the Extended Project Qualification. The resources translate the assessment objectives (AO1–AO4) into concrete, observable practice, supporting both effective supervision and accurate marking. They are suitable for all EPQ pathways, including essay and artefact projects, and reflect the expectations of Level 3 work. **This pack includes:** **EPQ Taught Skills Question Sheets with Supervisor Guidance** Structured activities covering AO1–AO4, extracting data from text, data acquisition, and referencing. Supervisor versions make expectations explicit and support consistent advice. **EPQ Top-Band Marking & Moderation Guide** A detailed guide explaining what distinguishes top-band work, where marks are commonly capped, and how to identify secure evidence across assessment objectives. **EPQ Step-by-Step Student Guide** A clear, phased guide from topic choice to final submission, aligned explicitly to the assessment objectives and log book requirements. **Free EPQ Marking Grid** A concise overview tool to support marking and internal moderation. Together, these materials help align planning, research, documentation, supervision, and marking, reducing ambiguity for both staff and students. The student guide and question sheets may be shared directly with candidates. Supervisor guidance and marking materials are intended for staff use. This resource complements the official specification and mark scheme but does not replace them. Northlight produce expert materials for EPQ, PSHE, Physics, and whole School cultural awareness.
