Students must collect their results in person on the day. This is a significant milestone, and we look forward to celebrating it with them.

If your child is unable to attend in person or prefers to receive their results electronically, they must send an email request from their personal email address to either:
The email must include:
- The student’s full name

Please note: Requests for electronic results must be received no later than 5:00pm on Tuesday, 19th August to ensure timely processing. Results will be sent electronically by 10.15am Thursday 21st August.
The summer 2025 exam period will run from Tuesday 6th May to Friday 20th June. However, students should be aware that as part of the summer exam series, a ‘contingency’ exam day has been announced by the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ). The designated contingency day for summer 2025 is Wednesday 25th June. This means that all exam candidates must remain available to sit exams from the date of their first exam until Wednesday 25th June 2025. This is not a Heyford Park School decision and applies to all candidates in all schools. Please can students, parents and carers make a note of the contingency exam date in the event that an awarding body needs to invoke its contingency plan, as it is vital that students are not absent from any rearranged papers.

JCQ notices 2024-2025
The Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) is the authoritative body representing the eight largest providers of examinations in the UK. Each year they update their information for candidates taking examinations. The following guidance is applicable to all students taking examinations in 2024/2025:
Certificates from Summer 2024 will be available from November 2024 to collect; confirmation of this will be sent to candidates once they are available.
Please note the following when collecting certificates:
You will need to sign for them.
If you are unable to collect your own certificates you can ask someone to collect for you. Please email the exams team at firstname.lastname@example.org giving your authorisation for a third party to collect your certificates and include their details. The certificates will not be released without prior emailed authorisation from you.
We strongly recommend you collect your certificates as replacements can only be obtained from the Awarding Bodies and cost approximately £50.00 each to replace.
We currently have many old uncollected certificates so please check with us first if you haven’t ever collected them and now need them from previous years.

Heyford Park School will make every effort to ensure that our students receive the best possible preparation for their exams, that the administrative arrangements run smoothly, and that exams are conducted in a way that will cause as little stress as possible and help our students achieve their best.
Year 11 students receive an exam handbook; this contains useful information on how the school run public exams and the expectations on our students. The handbook also contains links to the JCQ (Joint Council for Qualifications) exam documents and notices. An electronic copy of the handbook is available to download and can be accessed below.
