Exams timetable

Coming soon. Each year, a full timetable will be available for GCSE and GCE (A Level).

During Exams season and Mock Exams, all candidates are individually sent details of the examinations that they are entered for. It is always possible that last minute changes might happen, and students are advised to check the noticeboard outside of the exams office. Seating plans are displayed outside exam venues approximately 20 minutes before the exam starts.

Students need to arrive outside the exam venue 10 minutes before the exam start time. Students must arrive to all exams in full uniform.  

 

Contingency Days

These are days designated by the exam boards to be used in the event of a national or significant local disruption to examinations.

This means that all exam students must remain available to sit exams up to and including the 25th June unless they have completed all of their exams on the scheduled days.
