Exam Certificates
Certificates are issued by the relevant exam board and are legal proof of a qualification. Schools are required to retain certificates for a period of 12 months after they are issued. However, we endeavour to retain uncollected certificates for minimum of 3 years.
Students sitting exams in summer 2024 will be invited to collect their certificates towards the end of the autumn term. Further details will appear here once available.
If you have an enquiry regarding certificates from a previous year, please contact examsoffice@taptonschool.co.uk.

Exams at Tapton are supervised by our invigilation team who have a key role in enabling students to demonstrate their abilities and upholding the integrity of the exams process.
