Certificate Collection
Summer 2025 Examination Series Certificate Collection
Year 11 and Year 13 Leavers Collection Dates & Times
Certificates will be available to collect from the Upper Site Main Reception Office on the following dates/times:
Tuesday 16th December 2025 – 09:00 to 15:00
Wednesday 17th December 2025 – 09:00 to 15:00
Thursday 18th December 2025 – 09:00 to 15:00
Wednesday 7th January 2026 09:00 to 15:00
Students should bring photo ID with them and if a third party is collecting on their behalf we require a signed letter of authority plus the ID of that person.
If you are unable to attend these dates, please contact the Examinations Department via email: [email protected] to arrange an appointment to collect your certificates.
Certificates are kept in a secure location and the Exams Officer is not always available, so please do not turn up without an appointment.
We are unable to post certificates to students.
The school is frequently contacted by former pupils who have mislaid their exam certificates or who have never collected them.
Trinity Catholic High School will retain all unclaimed certificates under secure conditions for a maximum of 1 year from the date of issue. Any certificates which are not collected within this period will be confidentially destroyed. Certificates must be collected by the candidate themselves; however, should a candidate wish to nominate a person to collect the certificates on their behalf, an email from the candidate should be sent to the Examinations Manager – [email protected], giving the name and details of the person collecting the certificates. Anyone collecting certificates from the school should come to the Upper Site Reception office and will need to provide photo identification.
Exam certificates are unique documents and cannot be replaced if they have been mislaid or purposefully destroyed. In these circumstances, you need to contact the Exam Boards directly to obtain written confirmation of your grades (they will charge a fee for this). In most cases, you will have taken exams with several of the Exam Boards and, if you left many years ago, the names of the Boards may have changed, since several have merged or rebranded in recent years.
Please contact the Examination Office 020 8504 3419 ext 108 or [email protected] if you have any further queries.

On Results Day, you will receive a Statement of Results.
Please note that this is not your final examination certificate. Final certificates will be available at a later date, and further information regarding their collection will be published on our website closer to the time. We advise you to check the website regularly for updates.
Please be aware that your examination certificate is important, as many further education providers and universities will not accept the Statement of Results as definitive proof of your qualifications.
Results will not be given out over the telephone or via email under any circumstances.
If you are unable to collect your results in person on the day:
- Results can be posted to your home address after Results Day, provided you have supplied a stamped addressed envelope in advance.
- Alternatively, you may nominate a representative to collect your results on your behalf. In this case, we require either:
- A signed letter of authorisation from you, or
- An email from your school email address to [email protected] giving permission for the named individual to collect your results.
The nominated representative must bring valid photo identification when collecting results.

Summer Examinations 2026 – Examination Contingency Dates
A Level and GCSE Exam Contingency dates:
Wednesday 24th June (All Day)
These dates have been designated by JCQ as contingency sessions for examinations should sustained national or local disruption arise during the Summer 2026 examination series.
If disruption occurs, the GCSE and/or A level exams (or equivalent) would be taken either for the first time or again on any date up to and including the contingency date.
This is a JCQ decision and applies to all students taking GCSE and or A levels (or equivalent) in Summer 2026 in all schools and colleges.
We remind students taking public examinations that they must remain available until the contingency date and therefore should not plan to go on holiday before the 24th June regardless of when their last exam takes place.
Results Days – Summer 2026
A Level Results: Thursday 13th August 2026
GCSE Results: Thursday 20th August 2026
Where can I find further information?
Students and parents should only access advance information about exam topics on official websites.

JCQ Preparing To Sit Your Exams
TCHS Examinations Timetable Summer 2026
Please note, the awarding bodies have designated the morning and afternoon sessions of Wednesday 24th June 2026 as ‘contingency sessions’. These contingency sessions are designed to be used in the event of national or significant local disruption to examinations. This means that all exam candidates must be available to sit exams from the date of their first exam until Wednesday 24th June 2026. This decision is not a school decision and does apply to all candidates in all schools
The awarding bodies (examination boards) set down strict criteria which must be followed for the conduct of examinations and Trinity High School is required to follow them precisely. You should therefore also pay particular attention to the information in the JCQ section of the Examinations page.
What is Non-Examined Assessment (NEA)?
For some A level and GCSE subjects, non-exam assessments (NEAs) are included. NEA may refer to coursework or an endorsement and includes:
- Coursework
- Practical science endorsements
- Spoken language endorsements
For example, if you’re studying A level English or A level History, in order to achieve the qualification, you’ll need to complete NEA coursework as well as sitting the written papers.
Subjects which include a practical or spoken language endorsement are reported separately on certificates and don’t contribute to the A level or GCSE grade.
Marking of NEA
Non-examined assessments are marked internally and, when necessary, moderated within the school or institution. The marks are then submitted to the examination board for verification during the Spring of the examination year. The final decision regarding the awarding of marks is made by the examination board.
GCSE & A-Level Subjects with NEA
The following table outlines which subjects and levels include non-examined assessment components:
| Subject | GCSE % of Total Marks | A-Level % of Total Marks |
| Art | 60% | 60% |
| Biology | N/A | 0% |
| Chemistry | N/A | 0% |
| Computer Science | 0% | 20% |
| Design Technology | 50% | N/A |
| English Language | 0% | N/A |
| English Literature | N/A | 20% |
| Extended Project | N/A | 100% |
| Food & Nutrition | 50% | N/A |
| Geography | N/A | 20% |
| History | N/A | 20% |
| Physical Education | 40% | N/A |
| Physics | N/A | 0% |
Malpractice in NEA
Strict adherence to the examination board’s guidelines for Non-Examined Assessment is mandatory. Failing to follow these guidelines may result in malpractice, leading to consequences such as:
- Disqualification from the specific NEA component where the malpractice occurred.
- Disqualification from the entire NEA unit.
- Disqualification from the whole qualification.
For more information on NEA conduct rules and procedures in cases of suspected malpractice, refer to the linked documents below.
Appeals Against Marking
Candidates have the right to appeal against the awarding of marks. The detailed process and guidelines for such appeals can be accessed via the following links:

Revision must be one of the most individualised processes within academic life and students will know their own personal strengths and weaknesses. The important thing is that students match the type of revision they are doing with the context in which they, personally, are able to do their best. It is easy for students to feel overwhelmed. It is important that students appreciate the size of the task but it is also important to be realistic about what they can do in the time available. The best way to increase confidence and reduce anxiety is to be well prepared. The revision and exam period will inevitably involve stress. However, with few precious days it is very much about quality above quantity. This means that, whatever time students spend revising, they must ensure it is quality time, with full concentration and using the most appropriate revision methods. I would again just like to reiterate a few important points.
- Students should have the environment necessary for success. Students need a place to revise, which is quiet, calm and comfortable.
- Students should make use of revision plans/wall planners and allocate more time to subjects and topics they are unsure about. Student plans need to be flexible to allow for some topics that may take longer than they expect.
- Students should be creating their own revision ‘hit lists’. These are the topics that they need to focus on further.
- Subjects have access to online learning platforms. These will in the main be very familiar to our students, particularly in the core subjects. Students may use such programs or applications designed for problem-solving or open-ended learning to support their work schedule.
- Students should be regularly testing themselves at home, using past papers, mark schemes, specifications and examiner reports. They should pay particular attention to the marking criteria. There are always some great hints from the examiner in the reports.
- Students must make active use of their knowledge organisers for self-assessment. They provide a useful overview of some key elements of factual knowledge that students can refer to as a basis for selfquizzing.
- All students should use range of revision techniques such as mind maps, cue cards, visual reminders, loci, peg words (association with objects), acronyms (making up a word from initials of other words which need to be remembered), chunking (splitting facts into small groups), verbal memory recall and practice questions.
- Staying motivated can be one of the biggest obstacles to studying and revising. Students must set scheduled breaks alongside their study targets. Distractions should be removed where necessary.
