The DCSF is to accept the advice of the Expert Advisory Group and also offer Extended Diplomas. These will be designed to challenge the most able students by having added depth and breadth to studies along with a strengthen core of English and maths. They should also offer more opportunity for research intensive and independent study. The DCSF will release a strategy for the 14-19 qualifications soon.
The Extended Diplomas are scheduled to be available as from 2011.
Some commentators believe that the introduction of the Extended Diploma makes the whole scheme too complicated.
