The summer 2025 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 8th May to Wednesday 18th June 2025. However, for the summer 2025 exam series, one “contingency” exam day (Weds 25th June)  have been arranged by the examination awarding bodies which all students need to be aware of. This contingency day 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 2025 examination series.”

The date that has been set aside as the contingency day is Wednesday 25th June 2025 (all day). This means that all exam candidates must be available to sit exams from the date of their first exam until Wednesday 25th June 2025. This decision is not a school decision and applies to all candidates in all schools.
