Public Examinations 2025-2026

Summer 2026 Contingency Day

The awarding bodies have collectively agreed a contingency day for several years now which is always scheduled at the end of the GCSE exam timetables. The contingency day is in the event of national or significant local disruption to exams in the United Kingdom.

The standard contingency day remains at the end of the timetable being scheduled on Wednesday 24 June 2026. Students and parents should consider the contingency day of Wednesday 24 June 2026 when making their plans for the summer.

Candidates must remain available until Wednesday 24 June 2026 should examinations need to be rescheduled.
