Can a school keep your results from you?

I just thought, "yeah, okay, as if they're going to check like all 200"

Yes but then teachers were refusing to take the books if you didn't have the slip. They did this to me and in the end, I just forged all of the signatures from my contact book and left a stack of books in a deserted room with a note on top :')

An excerpt for an examining bodys policy-

Centre Management
5.11 In relation to externally assessed examinations, the centre agrees to:
• keep scripts secure from the time they are collected from candidates until they are
despatched to the examiners or the awarding bodies;
• respect the confidentiality of scripts by not allowing them to be read or photocopied by
any person prior to marking, without permission of the awarding body;
• keep results or information issued by EDI or via an awarding body secure website
strictly confidential and not to divulge or post them to candidates, parents or other
persons prior to the official dates and times for their publication;
• distribute provisional statements of results to all candidates without delay.

My Secondary School has decided to threaten all of its pupils by saying that if we don't hand our books in and get a sheet signed by each teacher, we cannot obtain our results. Any of them.

Can our school ACTUALLY do this or is it quite literally just a threat? I mean, I think it is because it's illegal for you not to be in school after year eleven to the age of 18 (now it is) and results are normally what gains you a place at sixth or college.

If it's your opinion please state but if you actually KNOW for a fact, then say so as well. Thanks.

So, can they do this?

This is the sort of thing I was looking for thank you! Can you link me to where you got this?

"externally assessed examinations"- surely these rules only apply if you took the exam outside of the centre, as if you take your exams at school it's called an internally assessed examination?

Externally assessed surely means that it was marked outside the centre... IAA's are internally assessed assessments (although I could be wrong in the acronym!)
