We are unable to confirm receipt of, or verify, hard-copies of documents that are sent to us by post. We ask that you send all relevant documents electronically.

We will often request officially certified copies of your qualifications as part of your offer. 

We are usually able to verify certain forthcoming qualifications via UCAS (such as summer 2023 IB, A-level, Pre-U, Scottish Higher and Singapore H2 A-level results) provided that your school has arranged for us to receive these via this method.

If we require proof of any previously achieved qualifications, this will be stated on your offer letter, e.g. "Please provide certified documentation of your 2022 Mathematics A-level".

It is vital that we receive official certification of your qualifications. Failure to provide us with these can result in a delay in making your offer unconditional.
