Exams

Public exams can be a stressful time for students and parents/carers and it is important that all those involved are as well informed as possible. The School will make every effort to ensure that our students receive the best possible preparation for their exams, that the administrative arrangements run smoothly, and that exams are conducted in a way that will cause as little stress as possible and help our students achieve their best. 

For any queries regarding examinations please do not hesitate to contact our Exams Officer, Mrs Knox via email: lrknox@bartholomew.epatrust.org

Collection of Exam Certificates

Collection of 2025 and Historical Exam Certificates

The Summer 2025 GCSE and GCE A Level Certificates are available for collection. GCE A Level and GCSE students who have left the school can collect their certificates from reception during school hours (8.30am to 3.45pm). Current Year 12 students are able to collect their GCSE certificates from the Sixth Form Office.

If your certificates are from previous exam seasons, please contact the exams office to arrange collection.

We do not post certificates as JCQ regulations advise they are collected and signed for in person.

PLEASE NOTE: Certificates will be kept in storage for three years, if certificates are not collected by then they will be destroyed under JCQ guidelines and the cost of any replacements will be the responsibility of the candidate.

THIRD PARTY PERMISSION SLIP 

If you cannot collect your certificates yourself, you can nominate a third party to do this on your behalf.

Please complete, print and sign the below Exam Certificates Third Party Permission Slip and ask your nominated person to present it to a member of staff in reception when they arrive, ensuring that they have brought along an official form of identification, such as a driver's licence.Exam Certificates Third Party Permission Slip
