During the Summer 2023 exam series, a “contingency” exam day has 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 has been put in place “in the event of widespread, sustained national or local disruption to examinations during the June 2023 examination series.” The Joint Council for Qualifications have decided that they need the option to postpone an exam in the event of an incident and rearrange for a later date to allow all students a fair and equal chance.
The date that has been set aside as the contingency day is Wednesday 28th June. This means that all exam candidates must be available to sit exams from the date of their first exam until the advised date for 2023. This decision is not a school decision and does apply to all candidates in all schools.
Please can all students/parents/carers make a note of the new contingency exam date in the event that an awarding body needs to invoke its contingency plan.
