JCQ Info for Candidates
The following documents are written by the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) on behalf of the exam boards and provide essential information for students taking exams:
Exam Results

A & AS Level: Thursday 15th August 2024
GCSE: Thursday 22nd August 2024

Exam Certificates
Certificates are issued by the relevant exam board and are legal proof of a qualification. Schools are required to retain certificates for a period of 12 months after they are issued. However, we endeavour to retain uncollected certificates for minimum of 3 years.
Students sitting exams in summer 2024 will be invited to collect their certificates towards the end of the autumn term. Further details will appear here once available.
If you have an enquiry regarding certificates from a previous year, please contact examsoffice@taptonschool.co.uk.
Invigilation
Exams at Tapton are supervised by our invigilation team who have a key role in enabling students to demonstrate their abilities and upholding the integrity of the exams process.
