GCSE results - Collecting Certificates

If you are unable to come in person to collect your results and you wish for someone to collect them on your behalf, they must have a signed letter giving your permission. Without this letter we cannot give your results to anyone!

If you are away and would like your results posted to your home, please bring a stamped addressed A4 envelope to reception before school closes on 21st July 2023.

Please contact the school (01686 626304 Newtown Campus) (01544 267259 John Beddoes Campus) to arrange collection, allowing at least 24 hours notice.
If you are unable to collect your certificates in person, you must provide a signed note of permission for someone else to collect them on your behalf – this person will be requested to sign a collection document.
Please ensure you check all your documents carefully; if you spot any errors, please notify us immediately.
