GCSE and A Level Certificates from Summer 2024 Exams are ready for collection

Exam board certificates are available at reception for collection from 10am Monday - Friday.  Please arrange for the collection of certificates as soon as possible and spread the word to others who you know took exams this summer.   It is not possible to collect certificates on behalf of someone else (even if you are a parent, twin, sibling or close friend) because they are legal documents.  If you are unable to collect your own certificates, please complete the permission form and ask your nominee to bring the signed form together with their photo ID to reception on your behalf.  

 

We will retain certificates for 12 months after which time they will be confidentially destroyed to meet exam board guidance. If you lose or damage your certificate/s or don't collect them before they are confidentially destroyed, exam boards will provide a certifying statement at an additional cost (current prices are approx £50-60 per statement per exam board).

 

Students who took their GCSEs here and progressed to Post 16 will be issued their certificates in pre-arranged sessions next week.

 

Students now in Year 11 who took a language GCSE and/or Religious Studies Short Course GCSE in the summer will be issued their certificates through their tutor in the week beginning 9th December.
