Certificates
Certificates from summer 2025
You can collect these from the main reception desk at the times and dates below. Please bring a form of photo ID with you.
Please be aware if the reception team is busy signing in visitors or with phone calls, you will have to wait.
The candidate should collect their own certificate, however if this is not possible, a nominated person can collect on their behalf. The person will need to bring with them a signed authorisation form (see below) as well as the photo ID of the person collecting.
If this is still not suitable, please contact the school to arrange collection.
The school is only obliged to keep the Certificates for 1 year then they are either destroyed or returned to the exam board. At this point the cost of certificates will no longer be the responsibility of the school.
For certificates in previous years, please contact the exams team (j.utley@tgs.starmat.uk) to arrange collection.
