Exam results will not appear on Edulink this year. If you sat an external exam in Year 8, 9, 10 or 12 you must collect your results as above or you will need to wait until school opens in September to get them.

Unable to collect in person

If you are unable to collect in person, you can do one of the following:

  • Provide the Exams Officer with an A4 stamped addressed envelope with a 1st class LARGE letter stamp affixed, by the end of term (Friday 18 July 2025 midday) and your results will be posted to you.  Please be aware that exam board regulations state that results can only be posted on results day itself so you may not receive your results until a few days after result publication, dependent on the postal system. 
  • Provide the Exams Officer with written permission for someone else to collect your results on your behalf, complete the collection of results permission form below. The permission form must be handed in when the results are collected and your nominated representative (and that includes a parent) will require a form of identification (eg passport, driving licence). Please note that exam results are not provided over the phone, or by text or email under any circumstances.

Certificates

For the academic year 2023-2024

A Level/BTEC Certificates are issued to students at a presentation evening held in December.  If students are unable to attend the presentation evening, certificates can be collected in person from the school or by a nominated representative with a completed Collection of Certificates Permission Form.

GCSE Certificates can be collected at Sir John Lawes reception from December in person or by a nominated representative with a completed Collection of Certificates Permission Form.

For the previous academic year

Certificates can be collected from the school Reception between 9.00am and 3.00pm when the school is open. Please advise the Exams Officer of the date you wish to collect them so that they can be left at Reception for you. You will need to bring some photographic ID and sign a collection sheet.

If you are unable to collect your certificates or arrange someone to collect on your behalf, you can request the school to post them to you, however there is a cost of approximately £7.00 for this service as the exam boards require us to use a signed for tracking service.  Please contact the Exams Officer if you wish to use this service.
