Certificates Summer 2024
Certificates are now available to collect from the school office during normal reception opening hours. During the school holidays please call ahead to ensure someone is available as the office may not be staffed every day.
On collection, you will be asked to check your certificates and sign to say you have received them. If you would like someone else to collect your certificates, please email exams@dittonparkacademy.co.uk with the name of the person collecting. They will then need to show us photographic ID before certificates are released to them. You may not collect certificates for other students without prior permission.
