Notices to Candidates

The Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) is a membership organisation comprising the eight largest providers of qualifications in the UK. The JCQ provides a single voice for its members on issues of examination administration and, when appropriate, qualification and wider education policy.

Candidates must read the notices to candidates prior to starting any non-examination assessments, course work, onscreen tests or sitting examinations. This information is shared with Year 10 to Year 13 students and parent/carers in September, and ahead of any exam series including internal exams.

Certificate and Result Information

If you are unable to collect your results or certificates yourself, you may nominate someone to collect them on your behalf. Please email the exams officer with information on who will be collecting your results/certificates or you can complete a Third-Party Collection Form . The person collecting will need to photo ID of their own with them. Alternatively, you can have your results posted home. You will need to send a stamped-addressed envelope to school reception for the attention of the Exams Officer and they will be sent on the day of release of results.

Certificates are only required to be kept by us for a minimum of 12 months. After this time, the school can destroy any uncollected certificates. Please contact the Exams Officer to check if we still hold your certificates, if we do not, information on obtaining replacement certificates can be found here. Not all awarding bodies offer a replacement certificate service. In such circumstances the awarding body will issue a Certifying Statement of Results. Where either a replacement certificate or Certifying Statement of Results is issued, it will provide an accurate and complete record of results for all qualifications covered by the original certificate.

If we no longer hold a record of your qualifications, you should be able to access information on your personal learning record – more information can be found here.

Post-Results Services

After each external exam series, awarding bodies offer a post-results service. Candidates will be informed about the services available and how to access them. There are procedures in place that we must follow as set by the awarding bodies and strict deadlines. There may be fees to you for the service.
