Certificates

Certificates are important documents.  Most educational institutions and potential employers will ask to see original certificates.  If students lose or fail to collect them, they will need to obtain duplicates from the relevant awarding body and they will charge £40-£50 per certificate.   JCQ regulations state that certificates should be kept by schools for 12 months and if they remain uncollected they may be disposed of securely.  At LSS, we will keep them for 24 months before they are destroyed.

Certificates for Summer exams are received in school in November and will be available for collection from December.  Students who stay onto 6th Form at LSS can collect their certificates from the Exams Office.  If students are no longer at LSS, they must contact the Exams Office to make arrangements to collect them (during May  & June, an appointment is essential).

 If you wish to nominate someone else to collect them on your behalf, you will need to complete the form below.  Your nominated person would need to bring the completed form and a form of photo ID to the main school reception.

Summer 2025 certificate collection

If you are still at LSS, we will arrange for you to collect your certificate(s) from the Sixth Form Centre in December 2025.  If are no longer at LSS, your exam certificates will be available for you to collect from the Sixth Form Centre at the following times:

Tuesday 16th December 2025 - 3:30pm – 4:30pm

Thursday 8th January 2026 - 3:30pm – 4:30pm

If you are unable to collect your certificates on these dates, you can nominate someone to collect them on your behalf.  To do this, you need to complete the "3rd party certificate collection form" (below) and your nominated person needs to bring this along with them at one of the times above.  Alternatively. please either call the Exams Office to make an appointment to collect them (during normal school hours).
