Exam Support
At Kelvin Hall School we work hard to prepare all of our pupils for their exams and help them to achieve their full potential.
In order for us to do this, pupils must also work hard and be aware of what is expected of them when they come to sit an exam.
This page sets out some of the upcoming exam dates and important information that pupils will need in order to succeed.
For more information about exams, please call Mrs Comez, examinations officer, on (01482) 342229 or email

Certificates
Certificates generally become available to students in the November after they sit their exams in the Summer.
We will contact you nearer to the time to arrange collection of your certificates.
Your certificates are very valuable & should be kept safe at all times. If you lose them, you will be charged by the awarding bodies for replacements or statement of results, whichever the board provides. They do not all send replacement Certificates. You will be charged for each search you request to each of the Boards. Prices vary from board to board.
Please use the following link to apply for replacements:
KEEP CERTIFICATES SAFE
