Exam Certificate Information

Currently certificates that are not collected at Presentation Evening or by the following Easter Holiday are posted to the last address held on our system.

We have got a significant number of certificates from many years ago before the above system was in place.

Please get in touch if you are not sure if you have ever had your certificates.

If you have lost your certificates, we hold records of results for 10 years so would be able to confirm those results and exam boards. If you need replacement certificates you will need to contact the exam board, see details below. All these websites have info regarding certificates. See government website (gov.uk) for details of other boards and those that no longer exist.
