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 2023 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.
