Examination Information (Absent and Resit)

Pupils are required to attend all of their examinations and ensure that they arrive on time. If there is any reason why they are unable to attend the examination please contact the school immediately. If a pupil fails to attend an examination for no reason then you will be charged the entry fee of that examination. This includes family holidays, weddings or personal arrangements i.e. medical appointments. However, if they are missed due to being unwell, a doctor’s note is required by the Exam Boards. The Exam Boards may accept other serious exceptional circumstances beyond the control of the candidate, provided evidence is given.

The last exam is dated Tuesday 17th June 2025, though all pupils must be available on Wednesday 25th June which is a contingency date set aside by the Exam Board.

The Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) have announced a contingency day for the summer exams series 2025. The date that has been set aside as the ‘contingency day’ is WEDNESDAY 25TH JUNE 2025.

The contingency day for ALL external examinations has been put in place “in the event of widespread, sustained national or local disruption to examination during the Summer 2025 examination series”.

Therefore, in the event of a major disruption, JCQ and/or the relevant Awarding Bodies may decide to postpone an exam to another date in the summer exam series. This means that any students sitting external examinations in summer 2025 must be available until Wednesday 25th June 2025 to sit any exams that had to be postponed.
