Past Exam Certificates

The examination certificates which pupils receive after completing their courses are valuable documents and should be kept in a safe place. Universities, colleges of further educations and employers often ask to see them and they may be required when moving to another country.

Certificates are available for collection at the school by the middle of November each year.

If pupils require another person to collect them they must give them a signed permission form authorising collection on their behalf, we will not give out certificates without this permission. Identification will be required.

Pupils who have mislaid or lost their certificates are advised to look at the web-sites below:
