Exam Certificates
Exam certificates are delivered in the November following summer exams and in the February following November exams.
Certificates must be collected and signed for by the student. If a student would like somebody else to collect the certificates on their behalf (e.g. parent, sibling), they must provide the person with a signed letter of authority. The nominated person must also bring photographic identification, for example a driving licence, passport, student ID card. Requests for these certificates will take up to 3 working days.
Certificates will be held for 12 months from date they are received in school and are then destroyed via secure waste.
Replacement Certificates
Exam boards will not provide copies of certificates which have been lost or never claimed. However, you can apply for a Certified Statement of results, which can be used in the same way as a certificate. All exam boards charge a fee for this service, and you will need to make applications to each exam board via their websites:
All requests must be made in writing to exams@lss.weareauthentic.education and are only processed during term time.
