Old / Lost Exam Certificates

To whom it may concern

Burleigh Community College do not keep certificates.  Where students have made provision,certificates are issued early December each academic year.  Results data is archived, as required, for a limited time.

You can obtain a confirmation of past results directly from the awarding body for each subject taken. 

As the awarding body for a subject can change, at the discretion of the College, we would advise you contact all the awarding bodies listed below as you may have taken examinations with all of them, e.g. currently: GCSE & ‘A’ Level do Mathematics with AQA, GCSE English is with WJEC but ‘A’ Level English with AQA and GCSE ICT with OCR but ‘A’ Level Computing with AQA.

Please be warned that each awarding body will charge you for a search and any resulting replacement documentation, however most boards will not charge you a fee if the search reveals no data held by them.  Where a fee is charged, it will alter depending on the board, but currently you can expect a charge of around £35.00 per board.

Remember to keep all examination certificates safe.  Once certificates have been issued the results slips are less important.  Most  UK Universities, Further Education providers and Employers require official certificates as evidence of achievement.
