Collection of GCSE certificates
 
GCSE certificates from the summer 2024 examination series will be available for collection from main reception at Perins School, the week commencing Monday 18th November, Mondays to Thursdays between 15:30 – 16:30, until Thursday 5th December 2024.
 
Certificates need to be collected by the candidates themselves, as they need to be signed for.  However, if they would like to nominate someone else to collect and sign for the certificates on their behalf, they must email exams@perins.hants.sch.uk stating their full name and the name of the person they are nominating to collect them on their behalf. We are unable to make exceptions to this.

Exam Clashes
Unfortunately, each year, there are some instances where a candidate has two different exam papers timetabled for the same morning or afternoon session. Where this occurs, candidates will complete both exam papers scheduled for the session. Once the first exam paper has been completed, candidates will be given a short, supervised rest break, before completing the second scheduled exam paper. 

In line with JCQ regulations, this must be conducted within the examination room and under formal examination conditions at all times. Candidates cannot use this time to revise. Where clashes occur in the afternoon session, the end time of the second exam paper will be later for some candidates. As a result, candidates will need to ensure they have arranged appropriate transport from school on these days.
