Summer 2027 Exam contingency days
The awarding bodies have collectively agreed a contingency day for several years now which is always scheduled at the end of the GCSE, GCE AS and A-level exam timetables.
The contingency day is in the event of national or significant local disruption to exams in the United Kingdom, being part of the awarding bodies’ standard contingency planning for exams.
Following the Covid-19 pandemic, further resilience was needed within the exam timetables if a national event or incident had a significant effect on the exam timetable. For example, summer exams could be affected by extremely high temperatures.
For the Summer 2027 exams, the contingency day is on Wednesday 23 June 2027 (all day).
Candidates must remain available up to and including Wednesday 23 June 2027 should examinations need to be rescheduled.
EXAM TIMETABLES
It is the responsibility of each student to check their individual timetable on Cedar and consult with class teachers with regards to dates for non examined assessments, practical assessments and Set Tasks.
