Component 1 Personal Study Independent Project (C1 Major Project)
The Extended Independent Project has developed from your 3 week project.
Bring your sketchbook to every lesson so that you can discuss your project with teachers. If you are absent, please contact us and arrange a time for a catch up. Communication is key. We are here to support you so please don't hesitate to contact us. To ensure you stay on track and develop your project, you need to produce a minimum of 4x A3 pages each week as part of classwork and homework.
Please download resources below to support your project.
