GCSE Exam Certificates/Lost or Replacement Certificates

GCSE certificates are sent to schools approximately three months after results day, these show the final, confirmed results. These certificates are valuable documents, and it is extremely important that they are collected at the earliest possible opportunity.

Collection evenings are held in November and our former students are invited to collect their certificates on the appointed dates. The certificates can be collected by proxy if they have signed authorisation from the named student.

Unclaimed Certificates

At Court Moor we will securely hold any unclaimed certificates for seven years after the date of issue. Please complete this form to enquire after certificates that you were unable to collect on one of the Collection Evenings.

Certificates can be collected from reception, on an agreed date, and must be signed for; we are unable to post certificates.

Destruction of Certificates

After seven years, any unclaimed certificates are confidentially destroyed.
