Requests for certificates & results from previous years
If you would like us to check if your exam certificates from previous years are held in school or would like us to search our archive for your results please email the following information to: exams@ths.wessex.ac Your legal forename, surname, level and year of qualification.
Upon receipt of your request, we will look to see if we have your certificate(s). They will not be available if you have already collected them. There is no charge for checking for/releasing certificates. We will contact to let you know if your certificates are here and available for collection.
If your certificates are not on the premises, you can request a search of our archives for your results and if successful a letter will be provided to confirm them. There is a search fee of £10 and this must be paid before the search is carried out. The fee is non-refundable whatever the outcome. Please mark your envelope for the attention of the Exams Office and include your name and date of birth along with your payment (cash or cheque made payable to The Thomas Hardye School).
Special Consideration
Should a student be ill before an examination, suffer bereavement or other trauma, be taken ill during the examination itself or otherwise disadvantaged or disturbed during an examination, then it is the student/parent/carer's responsibility to alert the school, the Examinations Office, or the examination invigilator, to that effect.
The student must support any special consideration claim with appropriate evidence within three days of the examination; for example, a letter from the student's doctor.
The Examinations Manager will then forward a completed special consideration form to the relevant awarding body within seven days of the examination.
If an unforeseen event affects the running of an exam, for example a prolonged fire alarm or unexpected interruption - this instance should be reported to the Deputy Head overseeing examinations. It is the responsibility of the Exam's Manager to apply for special consideration to the relevant exam board, in such an eventuality.
