Wednesday 11 June and all of Wednesday 25 June 2025 will be a 'contingency day' for all exam boards in the UK. In line with Ofqual's exam system contingency plan , this is an additional day at the end of the exam period.

All examination boards have included a contingency examination date this year.

This will be used if a significant, unexpected event arises nationally or locally during the exam period such that no students (or a large number of them) are able to take an exam when planned. Of course, we all hope there won’t be such disruption and that the contingency day won’t be needed. But students should be available throughout the exam period, including on that day, in case their planned timetable is disrupted.

Please be aware that you son/daughter needs to be available on this date. We will inform you in advance if we need students to attend on this date.
