Exam Certificates

GCSE and A-Level/Vocational Summer 2024 exam certificates are available for collection from the main reception. 

Where a student cannot collect their certificates in person, they may ask someone to collect them on their behalf, however they MUST provide written permission from the student upon collection. This will be kept on file.

School only has a statutory duty to keep certificates for a maximum of 12 months.

If you have lost your certificates or you did not collect them (certificates issued prior to 2024), please contact the Exams Officer to find out if they are still in school, otherwise you will need to contact the individual exam boards for replacements. See links below:
