Guidance for Students and Parents:

If you or your parents have any queries or need help or advice at any time before, during or after the examinations please contact the Examinations Officers - Mrs Langwith or Mrs Spall - Room G90 / 01376 515 756 extension 248. / exams@newrickstonesacademy.org.

Examination certificates:

The Academy has a large number of uncollected examination certificates.  These are very important documents which students may need when applying for employment or a place at college or university.  Students are awarded their examination certificates at the annual Celebration and Awards Evenings.  Students who are unable to attend should arrange to collect their certificates from the Academy from the day following the Celebration or Award Evenings (usually in November for GCSE and December for A Level). Certificates are not routinely posted.  

The Academy will keep examination certificates for no more than 3 years after the student has left, after which time they will be destroyed.

If you are a past student and have not yet collected your certificates please contact the Academy to arrange to do so.  If you are a current pupil and have older siblings or friends who may not have collected their certificates please remind them to do so.

The awarding bodies (or examination boards) set down strict criteria which must be followed for the conduct of examinations, coursework and controlled assessments and New Rickstones Academy is required to follow them precisely.
