  • The candidate named on the certificate must collect their certificates in person and show valid photo ID on collection.  Alternatively, students can nominate someone to collect on their behalf.  This must be done in writing (in advance via email by completing the relevant section on ‘Form 5 Alternative Arrangements for Certificate Collection’) – then that named individual must show valid photo ID when collecting
  • You will be required to show valid photographic identification
  • You will be asked to check and sign for receipt of your certificates
  • Please enter the school from the main gates and go straight to reception where your certificates will be ready for collection

Postage 

Students or Ex-students who are unable to collect certificates may either nominate someone to collect on their behalf or can request for these to be posted by a ‘tracked and signed for’ service (for which a fee of £5 applies for secure postage).  All requests for certificate postage must be made in writing (via email to exams@fullbrook.surrey.sch.uk by completing the relevant section on ‘Form 5 Alternative Arrangements for Certificate Collection’). Requests are processed weekly and certificates will only be posted once payment has been received in full. Candidates accept responsibility for any loss of certificates through post.
