Exam Certificates
Certificates are issued by the exam board if you achieve grade A* to G or 9-1 at GCSE, or a pass or higher in level 2 qualifications.
Certificates are printed by the exam board in October and will be distributed to candidates at the Presentation Evening in November/December. Invitations for Presentation Evening will be sent to students and their parents/carers with full details of the Presentation Evening Event nearer the time.
Students who are unable to attend Presentation Evening will be able to collect their certificates from the school office.
Certificates will not be given to anyone other than the candidate without the candidate's written authorisation which needs to be emailed to [email protected] prior to collection.
It is important that you look after your certificates and keep them in a safe place as future colleges and employers will need to see them.
Melksham Oak Community school is only obliged to keep certificates for a period of one year after issue. If candidates do not collect their certificates within this time (or if they lose their certificates) they can only be replaced by direct application to the appropriate examination boards. This will require proof of identity (such as a birth certificate) and payment of a fee per examination board. You are therefore urged to collect your certificates on Presentation Evening or as soon as possible thereafter and to keep them safe.
