The summer 2024 exams may seem like a long way off at the moment, but we wish to share some important information with you to avoid any possible issues next summer. During the spring term, students will be given their individual exam timetables which will highlight when their final exam will take place. The summer written exam period will run from Thursday 9th May to Wednesday 19th June 2024. However, for the summer 2024 exam series, one “contingency” exam day (Weds 26th June) and two afternoons (Thurs 6th & 13th June) have been arranged by the examination awarding bodies which all students need to be aware of. These contingency days for GCSE and/or A Level (or equivalent) examinations have been put in place “in the event of widespread, sustained national or local disruption to examinations during the June 2024 examination series.”
The dates that have been set aside as the contingency days are Thursday 6th June and Thursday 13th June 2024 (afternoons only), and Wednesday 26th June 2024 (all day). This means that all exam candidates must be available to sit exams from the date of their first exam until Wednesday 26th June 2024. This decision is not a school decision and applies to all candidates in all schools.
