Certificates generally become available to students in November after they sit their exams in the Summer. We will issue the certificates to students at GCSE Certificate evening on Wednesday 7th January 5pm – 6pm. If you are unable to attend then please contact the exams officer to arrange to collect your certificates.
Your certificates are very valuable & should be kept safe at all times. If you lose them, you will be charged by the awarding bodies for replacements or statement of results, whichever the board provides. They do not all send replacement Certificates. You will be charged for each search you request to each of the Boards. Prices vary from board to board.
