The Waynflete Studies Programme is our unique version of the extended project, in which every Lower Sixth former has the opportunity to research a topic of their choice, many under the guidance of an external university tutor. 

Central to the course – and to William Waynflete’s original vision – is pursuing knowledge for its own sake. The course aims to bridge the gap between school and university and supports our pupils’ university applications.

The Waynflete Programme teaches vital skills for producing a research-based, extended piece of work in response to an open-ended question. All project questions address genuine issues and are based on areas studied by professionals in the real world.

It is a core part of our Sixth Form curriculum and much valued by all who participate.

"Once again, your students are bright and engaging. MCS students on this module tackle really challenging tasks, are admirably independent and really converse beyond their years."
