The second set of internal examinations for Year 11 will run from 9th to 24th January 2024.
Attendance at these internal examinations is important, this is the last exam Year 11 students will sit before their Summer GCSEs, the results of these internal exams may be required if there is any disruption to the Summer 2024 examination season.
Exam Certificates
Certificates arrive in school early November, candidates are notified when certificates are ready for collection. Candidates are asked to come in to school as soon as possible to collect and sign for certificates. Certificates are important documents and candidates are advised to keep them safe. The school is legally obliged to keep certificates for a period of twelve months, after this time they can be returned to the exam boards or sent for confidential disposal. As most candidates leave Selly Park at the end of Year 11 the school will keep uncollected certificates for a period of three years so candidates will be able to access certificates for UCAS applications.
