Exam Contingency Day 2026:
The awarding bodies have designated Wednesday 24th June 2026 as a ‘contingency day’ for examinations. The designation of a ‘contingency day’ 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. We remind candidates that they must remain available until Wednesday 24th June 2026 should an awarding body need to invoke its contingency plan.
For any queries regarding examinations please do not hesitate to contact our Exams Team:
