It is our aim to make the examination experience for all students at Northampton School for Girls as stress-free and successful as possible. Well-informed students understand that the rules and regulations, applied through the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) across schools nationally, are designed to ensure fairness and minimise disturbance to ensure that exams run smoothly.

Collection of Exam Certificates

You will be able to collect your exam certificates on Tuesday 15^th December 2026 between 2.00pm and 6.00pm from the school theatre foyer.

Please note that you must bring a photographic ID with you, for example a passport.  We can not release your certificates to you without a photographic ID.

If you are unable to collect your certificates in person and would like them to be collected on your behalf, please email exams@nsg.northants.sch.uk from your NSG email account. The email should include the following:

• your name and date of birth
• the name of the person collecting the certificates on your behalf
• That you give your permission for that person to collect your certificates on your behalf

The person collecting the certificates on your behalf will need to bring their own photographic ID with them.

Please note that any certificates not collected must, according to JCQ guidelines, be destroyed after a year (therefore 15th December 2027).

If you do not arrange collection of your certificates at the allocated time, an admin fee of £10 will be charged.  This is up to and including 15th December 2027, after which time they will be destroyed, as stated above.

Replacing destroyed certificates will incur a charge of approximately £60 per certificate, this is charged by the exam boards.
