Summer 2026 Exams

The awarding bodies have designated Wednesday 24 June 2026 as the ‘contingency day’ for examinations. The designation of ‘contingency days’ within the common examination timetable is in the event of national or significant local disruption to examinations in the United Kingdom. It is part of the awarding bodies’ standard contingency planning for examinations. Students must remain available until Wednesday 24 June 2026 should an awarding body need to invoke its contingency plan.

13 August 2026 – A Level / Level 3 Results Day

20 August 2026 – GCSE / Level 2 Results Day
