GCSE/A LEVEL/BTEC CERTIFICATES

Certificates are issued when a GCSE/A-Level/National course has been completed in full. Certificates are not issued where a 'U' grade is awarded. Each Awarding Body issues their own certificates once all reviews of results have been completed, which is usually in November/December. We are legally obliged to hold these certificates only for 12 months after issue.

If you would like someone to collect your certificates on your behalf, please complete this Examination Certificate Permission Form:

Examination Certificates permission form

Certificates can also be posted for a fee of £4 to cover the cost of Recorded Delivery. For this service, please send payment to the exams office with name and address that you would like it posted to. (Cheques should be made payable to ‘The River Learning Trust). 

Certificates collected by candidates cannot be replaced by the school. It is the candidates' responsibility to request replacement documents directly from the Awarding Body. There is a charge of approximately £45 per certificate.

Summer 2021 exams

Summer 2021 Timetable is now confirmed and can be found above.

Individual timetables are handed out to students with the date of their external/public exams. For the summer exams a 'Statement of Entry' is also sent out, to show all units (including non-timetabled units) and subject awards for which a student is entered. This entry information needs to be checked carefully by students and parents/guardians, then signed and returned to the exams office.

Exam Clashes: If you appear to be scheduled for two or more exams in the same session (am or pm) this is known as a 'clash'. If you have a clash, you will receive a letter to let you know how this will have been resolved.
