EXAM CERTIFICATES PROCESS

School Leavers – Exam Certificates

For those students who missed the event held on 27 & 28 January 2025, you will be able to collect them between the hours of 3:15pm and 4:00pm Mondays to Thursdays up until Thursday 27 March 2025 (excluding half term 17-21 February).

Please do not come any earlier than 3:15pm as exam certificates will not be available for collection.

Please come to Elmslie reception bringing your photo ID, provide your surname and year of leaving to our receptionist who will contact the Exams Office. This applies for the following school leavers:

Summer 2023 & 2024 Leavers

Summer 2022 Leavers – Final opportunity to collect. Uncollected certificates will be securely destroyed in line with JCQ regulations.

If a student is unable to collect in person the student can nominate a third party to collect on their behalf but it MUST be the student who emails their permission in advance of this event to exams@georgeabbot.surrey.sch.uk and not the parent. The nominated third party MUST bring photo ID in order for us to release the certificates. Alternatively, students can opt to have their certificates posted by Recorded Delivery by completing the form below in this section and submitting this to the Exams Office.

Standard Certificate Distribution Process

Certificates for students taking examinations during the summer A Level and GCSE exam season will only be sent to schools once the Review of Results process has been completed. The Exam Boards will normally distribute certificates around mid-November. All certificates will be checked and verified.

Students returning to school after having taken examinations during the summer exam season will receive their certificates during a nominated tutor time.

Students who have left George Abbot will be able to collect their certificates the following January, during a set collection period. The dates and times for this set collection will be published here. Ex-students are required to bring Photo ID when collecting. Ex-students may nominate another individual to collect on their behalf but MUST advise the Exams Office in advance via email. The nominated individual must also bring Photo ID.

George Abbot can only retain uncollected certificates for a period of one year, after which point they must be securely destroyed in accordance with JCQ regulations. However, you should be aware that some Exam Boards do not offer a replacement certificate service. In such circumstances the Exam Boards will issue a Certifying Statement of Results.

Alternatively students can request these to be posted via Recorded Delivery. To complete the form click on the image below and submit this form together with payment to the Exams Office.
