The deaf school in my local area didn't even have any leaving exams. However, this was in the 1980's. They tended to push most HOH kids and some profoundly deaf into oral only programs so the signing deaf schools were just for kids that couldn't cope with that and many had multiple disabilities.
Not that the oral only kids at the unit did any better. They may, in theory be placed in regular classes where kids could take exams but they were mainly in bottom stream classes. A handful of lower grade CSE's really isn't worth bothering about so they may as well not taken anything either.
