Examinations

Individual timetables, as well as confirmation of entries, will be available for students to view via the Student Portal after February half term in 2027. At that time that there may be timetable clashes, in both the GCSE and A level timetables. The school will work to resolve these in due course. The school employs an exams officer to whom specific queries should be directed.

Please note that during the exams it is important to check the end times of afternoon exams carefully as both internal and external exams frequently finish after the end of the school day and may impact on school bus travel.

External Exams - Contingency Date 2027:

Please note that each year the JCQ (Joint Council for Qualifications), who are the providers of regulations and examination practices across the UK, designate exam contingency sessions. These are sessions when all students have to be available, in the event of an exam needing to be moved as a result of a national or significant local disruption to examinations in the UK. In 2027, Wednesday 23 June all day has been designated by the Awarding Bodies as a contingency session for exams. Candidates must remain available up to and including Wednesday 23 June 2027.
