A Level and GCSE certificates can be collected from the school reception (term time only):
By prior appointment only - please contact: exams@tggsacademy.org
If you are unable to collect your certificates yourself, you may nominate a representative to collect them on your behalf but we must have your permission before they are collected. Please fill out this form to do so: Microsoft Forms
We will hold your certificates for 12 months before they are destroyed, in line with JCQ regulations. Thereafter, should you require a copy, you will need to contact the relevant exam board(s) where a charge will be payable.
