JCQ INFORMATION FOR CANDIDATES  

It is a Joint Council for Qualifications www.jcq.org.uk requirement for all candidates to read, understand and follow these regulations before completing/sitting their coursework, non-examination assessment or written public examinations. Failure to follow these regulations would mean candidate malpractice and could result in a loss of marks for part or all that qualification. 

TIMETABLES (individual timetables and entries are posted on the student’s Edulink) 

When available, all generic timetables will be posted here. External exams can also be seen on the respective exam board websites: AQA, OCR, Eduqas or Edexcel (Pearsons). All morning exams start at 9am prompt and afternoon exams at 13:30pm prompt. Students need to arrive 15 minutes before the exam start time. 

Internal exams 

(Sat under exam conditions in the sports hall)

External public written exams 

Individual exam entries for the summer series will be given to students in form after February half term. Individual exam timetables will be posted on Edulink (so you can download and print) in March, once everyone is in an exam room and seated.

Note, external public exams may finish after the end of the school day. 

Contingency day – for the summer series is Wednesday 24th June 2026. No holiday must be pre-booked before this day, irrespective of when your exam finishes, as the exam board may need to move exams to this day.

CERTIFICATES 

Presentation evening and collection of certificates 

Certificates typically arrive in school 3-4 months after the results day. Annually there is a Presentation Evening to issue the certificates to the students and to celebrate their success. This years this will be on Thursday 8th January 2026. Outside of this, certificates can be collected with prior communication from the student (not the parents) to d.hodge@st-anselms.org.uk Certificates must be collected in person by the student or they may nominate someone to collect on their behalf. In both cases photographic ID must be shown. We do not post certificates out.  

Retention of certificates 

Please remember to collect your certificates, they are your proof of exam results for employers and for any further or higher education course you may wish to study. In line with JCQ regs, we retain them for 4 years post GCE and 6 years post GCSE. After that they are securely destroyed, and you will need to go via the exam boards to replace them. There is a cost for this from the exam boards.
