Dear Parents and Carers,

I am pleased to inform you that your exam certificates from Summer 2023 will be available to collect from the school main reception from Tuesday 14th November 2023. Please be aware main reception opening hours are 8:00am – 4:00pm.
If you are collecting your certificates in person, you will be asked to sign and provide proof of id.
If you are unable to collect them in person you can nominate a third-party person to collect on your behalf. You can email in advance of collection to examofficer@fxs.org.uk giving their name and relationship to you, they must show proof of ID and sign to confirm collection.
Alernatively you can provide the third-party collector with a written letter giving your consent. The person collecting the certificates on your behalf must bring the letter and proof of their ID.
Please be reminded that your certificates are legal documents and therefore the school can only retain them for 1-year after the stated collection date. Replacement certificates are only available directly from the exam boards and are charged at approx. £45 per certificate.
All certificates must be checked by the person collecting them and signed for upon collection to ensure their accuracy. The school will not be held liable for any inaccuracies once the certificates have been signed for.
