Exam Information

All examination timetables, results and examination information is distributed digitally via the schools in-touch system. Students receive this directly to their school email and for parents/carers on the in-touch system they also receive a digital timetable and information at the same time. It is the students responsibility to access their emails to obtain their timetable, results and information.

Students receive an overview of their examination results on Results Day in August each year (these are not certificates). Certificates from these results are to be collected on collection day in December of the same year. Students who are leavers are expected to supply contact information for this purpose and it is widely advertised on the school website and social media. Certificates are only kept for 1 year and it is the students responsibility to collect their certificates or make arrangements for the collection. Certificates are not mailed out.

This page will be updated as and when new information is available with regards to examinations for both GCSEs and A Levels for students at Whitchurch High School. If students have any immediate queries, they should call into the examinations office located in the sixth form block.

Otherwise, please contact the exams officer via email: exams@whitchurch.cardiff.sch.uk

Whitchurch High School is a closed examination centre. Only Whitchurch High School students are allowed to sit exams on site.
