Essential Advice for Candidates
Exam Seasons
This is an important year for examining students, so we encourage all students to be in school for the whole academic year; holidays will not be authorised. We are not able to rearrange examinations that have been missed.
- October - November: GCSE Resits
- January - February: BTEC & Vocational papers
- March - May: Non-Examined Assessments (these are exam tasks completed over a window of time)
- 8th May - 25th June: Main summer exam season
Contingency Days
For the Summer exam series a “contingency” exam day/s has been arranged by JCQ which all students need to be aware of.
These contingency days for GCSE and 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 examination series.’
The provisional dates that have been set aside as the contingency days are: 11th and 26th June 2025.
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.
Please can all students/parents/carers make a note of the contingency exam dates in the event that an awarding body needs to invoke its contingency plan.

The following Post Results Services are available after the examinations. It is advised that you should discuss your options with your subject teacher beforehand. All post results services have a fee, details of which you will be given along with your results:
- Access To Scripts (ATS)
You can ask for a copy of your exam script(s) for general purpose or before deciding whether to request a review of mark (ROM). - Clerical Check
You can ask for a full clerical check of your exam script. A check will be made to see that all parts of your script have been marked, that the marks on the script have been correctly totalled and correctly recorded. - Review Of Mark (ROM)
Whether initially you request your script or not, you may apply to have your exam paper Reviewed by a senior examiner if you feel an error has been made. A full clerical check will also be made. Please note: Priority Remarks are only available to Year 13 students whose place in higher education is dependent upon the outcome.
Please know that all grades can go down as well as up and cannot be reversed.
