IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL PAST STUDENTS OF THE GATEWAY ACADEMY. Exam certificates. We will only be keeping GCSE/BTEC exam certificates for two years after students leave the Gateway Academy.

If you ever need your certificates (and many employers like to see them) it is very expensive for you to get replacements from the Examining Boards. If you are in touch with any other past students, please let them know!

The Gateway Academy brings you an extensive help site here on anything you need to know about Careers, College, Information, Advice and Guidance...
