Certificates will be available to collect during school hours by our former pupils and must be signed for. If any other person - including parent/carer - is collecting the certificates on their behalf they must have a note, signed by the pupil, giving their consent for school to release them. Any trophies, certificates and other prizes not collected during the leaver's celebration assembly on their last day, as well as the awards programme, will be available to take at the same time. We would like to take this opportunity to emphasise how important it is that the exam certificates are collected as they are very important documents that are likely to be needed throughout their career and particularly if a path to university or a professional career is planned. School is only legally obliged to keep certificates for a 12 month period, after which time they are disposed of. If copies of certificates are needed after that time, pupils will need to contact the appropriate awarding bodies directly and pay to obtain copies. As you will appreciate, these costs can mount up. Congratulations to all our leavers once again for everything they have achieved and we wish them all the very best for their futures. *School hours - 8am-4pm Monday to Thursday (Friday 3.30pm)* [GCSE Results](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/gcse-results) [ Locked Up in History!
