Summer 2024 Exam Certificates

2024 exams certificates are now available for collection.

Please collect your certificates from Reception between the hours of 9:30am and 3pm.

Information for Collecting Certificates

Please collect your certificates from the Main School Reception with photo ID between the hours of 9:30am and 3pm.

If you would like someone else to collect them on your behalf they will need to have a signed letter from yourself giving permission for the named person to collect. The person collecting will also need to have photo ID with them and sign for these on your behalf.

Please check your certificates before you leave the School Site. If you are missing any certificates, or there are any errors with name spelling etc. please raise this whilst you there so that we can investigate this further.

We recommend you collect these as soon as possible.

We are legally obliged to retain your certificates for 1 year and cannot guarantee that they will be available beyond this point. If we no longer hold your certificates you will need to contact the Exam Boards directly to pay for replacements where possible.

Reviews of Marking:

Dixons schools operate a cashless system, which includes payments for reviews of marking and access to scripts. Students will still be able to put in their requests for these services, but all payments would need to be made via bank transfer.

Initially students should speak to the examination officer – Hayley Crossland – on 01274 089850 or hcrossland@dixonsca.com about their request, they will be required to fill in a consent form and then payment details will be given. Students should make themselves aware of the deadlines for these services; giving enough time for the payment to be logged, payment to be made, and the request submitted to the exam board.

Lost examination certificates

Dixons City Academy do not have duplicates of your exam certificates and we only keep them for one year after you have taken your exams. The only organisations that can replace them are the exam boards that awarded them. Most exam boards will charge you for their replacement.

You will need to find out the exam board who gave you your certificate. To do this you may need to contact us and we will be able to give you this information. Make sure you know which year you sat the exam, as the exam boards used can change from year to year.

Once you know the exam board(s) you can apply for a duplicate certificate or a statement of results. To do this you must contact the appropriate board. Click on the links below which will take you to the relevant web page:
