Year 10 Parent Consultation Evening

Staff Training Day - Friday, 21st November

School is closed to students on this day

Exam Certificates

GCSE certificates from Summer 2025 examinations are available for collection from School Reception from the week commencing Monday 10 November 2025.

Alternatively, if school leavers have a sibling attending school, the certificates can be collected on their behalf, as long as a letter of authorisation is provided with a copy of a valid ID. 

Exam certificates are an important document and should be kept somewhere safe. If you misplace or lose your certificates you can only get replacements through the Examining Boards who can charge up to £50 per certificate (as at July 2025).

Please note that a requirement of the Examining Boards is that all certificates be returned to them or destroyed, if not collected within 12 months of issue. We therefore suggest that certificates are collected no later than Friday 17 July 2026 from the Summer 2025 Exam Series.

Powerful knowledge: It is the substantive content, agreed by the subject specialist as being the best knowledge in the discipline that opens up opportunities for the student. It will not be picked up by students from their everyday life.
Cultural Capital: It is the essential knowledge that pupils need to be educated citizens, introducing them to the best that has been thought and said and helping to engender an appreciation of human creativity and achievement.
