Graduation/GCSE Certificate Collection
GCSE Certificates for the Summer 2024 exam season will be presented at Graduation Evening on Thursday 21st November 2024. If you are unable to attend Graduation Evening you can collect your certificates (or someone else can collect them on your behalf) from the school.
Certificates will be available in Reception on a drop-in basis until Friday 6th December, and then afterwards, by appointment with the Exams Office. To arrange collection of your certificates after 6th December, please email exams.scs@osborne.coop.
If you need someone else to collect them on your behalf, you must complete the form below and ask the person collecting the results on your behalf to bring both this completed form and a form of photo identification. Without this signed form and identification, we will not release your certificates.
We do not post GCSE Certificates in case they get lost or damaged. The replacement costs start at £50 per certificate.

November Pre-Public Examination (PPE) (Mock Exams)
Our first PPE (mocks) season for Years 11 & 13 will take place from Monday 4th November to Friday 15th November, inclusive.
The season timetable is available here:
Personalised, seated timetables were sent home for all students on Tuesday 15th October, via the MCAS (My Child At School) app. They can be found under the Reports section.
Students will also receive a paper copy of their personalised, seated timetable before the end of the half term. They will not be provided with a replacement if this timetable is lost or damaged, so we strongly encourage them to make copies and/or take a photo.
PPE (mock) exams are conducted under the rules of the Governing Bodies (JCQ and Exam Boards) and students are expected to follow these rules. For this reason, we strongly encourage students to leave all unauthorised items (e.g. mobile phones, watches, airpods/earbuds etc) at home.
Students are responsible for ensuring they are on time for every exam and have all of the equipment they might need.
Please see the yellow links below for further information about exam regulations, unauthorised items and support for students regarding exams.
