Please contact exams@southcraven.org if you have any queries.

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 1st December 2026, 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.
