Exams and Certificates

Individual exam timetables will be emailed to students.

 We will publish our general Summer 2024 examinations timetable in due course.

Please note, there are three contingency dates where students must be available to come into school. 

The designation of ‘contingency days’ within the common examination timetable is in the event of national or significant local disruption to examinations.

It is part of the awarding bodies’ standard contingency planning for examinations.

2023-2024 Certificates are available to collect from Tuesday 3^rd December 2024.

These can be collected during term time from Main Reception between the hours of 8:00am and 3:30pm.

Students should collect their certificates personally. If this is not possible, please download the certificate collection permission form below.

Post-Results Services

After you receive your results, there are a range of services you can access if you think there is a problem with your grade, including:

• Access to your exam scripts
• Requesting a review of marking
• Requesting a clerical check, for example that marks have been added correctly.

All requests and questions about post-results services should be emailed to exams@southcraven.org.

Please see emails to parents and students regarding restrictions to email access this year, advice about logging in and what to do if you are abroad for results day.

We look forward to seeing you on results day!

If you believe there has been an error in producing one or more of your exam results, you should use our ‘post-results’ service.  We work with the awarding bodies to allow:

• Access to your marked scripts, to help you decide if you think an error has been made
• Clerical check, to ensure all your marks have been added correctly
• Review of marking, where a senior examiner will judge whether the original marker awarded marks appropriately and in line with the mark scheme
• Appeals, if you believe any of the post-results review processes were not carried out properly by the board.
• Resits.  It is possible to resit GCSE Maths and/or English in November if you do not get a grade 4 or higher.  You should ask to be entered for any resit in the institution you are studying in in September.  If you go to college, you should be entered by the college and not South Craven.

Most post-results services have a fee. Details can be found in your results pack and by clicking this link.

If you wish to access any post-results services or have any questions about them, please speak to the exams team on results day or email exams@southcraven.org.

You will get a ‘Statement of Results’ on the results day, which can use as proof of results to get on courses at other institutions. 

Official certificates are produced later in the year, provisionally available to collect from Monday 4th December, when all results and any appeals are finalised.

We do not have duplicates exam certificates for students who have left over one year ago.

The only organisations that can replace them are the exam boards that awarded them.

Most exam boards will charge you for their replacement.

The following exam board details are the ones used by South Craven School.

We have recently started using Turnitin to monitor coursework submissions for plagiarism – this is great preparation for students going onto University where monitoring takes place as a matter of course. 

The Turnitin software checks an international database of assessments to identify any student’s assessments which have been copied without recognition of the source.  It also now checks for authenticity and identifies writing that may have been produced using AI.
