Statements of Entry will be with students week beginning 30th January. It is important that the details printed are checked. Please check the name is the full legal name and the date of birth is correct, as these details will be on the examination certificate. The exam boards will charge a fee for amending incorrect details on certificates, at a later date. Any tier changes (Higher/Foundation) should be discussed with your child’s teacher in the first instance.
JCQ have set contingency dates for GCE/GCSE examinations, should a national or local disruption to examinations arise. This will require all students to be available on the afternoons of the 8th, 15th and all day on the 28th June 2023, in the case of examinations being rescheduled.
Students will receive their individual examination timetables before the Easter Holidays.
Certificates from the Summer 2022 are available for collection during school opening hours.
If the collection of certificates will be by somebody other than the candidate, they must bring a letter of authorisation signed by the candidate or email the Exams Officer Mrs Wendy Johnson wjohnson@sweynepark.com
Uncollected certificates are held by the school for up to 1 year, before secure disposal.
Replacement certificates can be applied for, through the relevant examination board for a fee. The fees vary by examination board and costing from £50 per certificate.
Certificates from the last academic year are awaiting collection. If the collection of certificates will be by somebody other than the candidate, they must bring a letter of authorisation signed by the candidate. Certificates are held for 1 year and then they will be securely destroyed.
