Our breakfast provision is back from Monday! 🤩 Students wishing to get breakfast in school can arrive from 7.45am via the main pedestrian gate and enter the canteen via the doors opposite ICT Services.

That person must bring in photographic identification such as a driving license or passport when they come to collect the certificates (unless they are a current student at the school). If you have any queries, please email the Exams Office exams@mrus.co.uk.

If you are unable to collect your certificates in person, you can nominate someone to collect them on their behalf by emailing exams@mrus.co.uk with the name of that nominated person.

Exam certificates are now available to collect from our Main Reception for examinations sat before or during Summer 2023.
