Help please with exam boards!

Post by kkallend »

I'm hoping that a reader may be able to help me! I need the exam board which was used by Christs Hospital, Hertford in 1983. I sat both O and A levels at Hertford before the merger and I need to replace my certificates.To do this I need the exam board! It seems my degree is not enough proof of my education!! Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved.

All I can tell you is that it was London Board in 1963 & 5 when I did them. As you took them before the upheavals of GCSE, it may have been the same.

Good Luck!

I did one O level at Hertford in 1985 so assume it would have been the same board then. My certificate is upstairs (somewhere) so I will dig it out and have a look. I think it will have been either London or Oxford & Cambridge.

Definitely London in '69 and '71. I can remember Miss Mercer discussing the difference between London and Oxford'n'Cambridge papers with us -

When ah were a lad it were Oxford and Cambridge in Horsham.

Not much help for your question I'm afraid!

It might be worth trying the School Office.

I obtained copies of my "O" level certificates 10 years or more after leaving. It maybe that duplicate certificates from Hertford were transferred to Horsham when the merger took place.
