Certificate Collection Information

  Exam board certificates are typically received by the school in early November. Students will be contacted during the Autumn Term with details on how to collect their certificates.
• Year 9 Languages Certificates:
  These certificates will be retained by the school until students complete their GCSEs in Year 11.
