Obtaining examination results and duplicate certificates
Exam results
To obtain exam results contact the school or other examining centre where the examination was sat. They should have the results of past and present students on file.
Duplicate certificates
To obtain duplicate certificates the awarding body of that certificate must be contacted direct. If the awarding body is unknown then contact the school or other examination centre and find out which examining board the exams sat were under.
If the school or other examination centre is closed then each awarding body will need to be contacted in turn. Also
Hertfordshire Archives & Local Studies (HALS) holds records of closed schools in Hertfordshire as shown in this table:
