Foundation Project Qualification

Published by Sir William Perkins's School on Monday 20th of April 2026

Not all schools give students the freedom to explore what truly interests them.
At SWPS, the Foundation Project Qualification (FPQ) empowers students in Year 9 to take ownership of their learning - investigating topics they are genuinely passionate about, from scientific innovation to global challenges.

It’s here that curiosity turns into confidence, and independent thinking becomes second nature.

Because the most powerful learning doesn’t come from memorising… it comes from questioning.
