Summer 2020 Exams/Timetables

Contingency day 2020

Wednesday 24 June will be a ‘contingency day’ for all exam boards in the UK.

In line with Ofqual’s exam system contingency plan , this is an additional day at the end of the exam period. It will only be used in the event of major local or national disruption to summer 2020 exams, in which case it is possible that timetable dates could be affected up to and including the contingency day.

Schools should remind students that they will need to make sure that they are available until 24 June 2020. If the contingency plan needs to be used, we will contact centres with details of what to do next.
