Contingency Day
For the Summer 2019 exam series a “contingency” exam day has been arranged by JCQ and 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 2019 examination series.”
The decision comes following the tragic events of last summer, namely the Manchester attacks and the Grenfell Tower fire. The Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) have decided that they need the option to postpone an exam (or exams) in the event of an incident and rearrange them 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 26 June 2019.
This means that all exam candidates must be available to sit exams from the date of their first exam until Wednesday 26 June 2019. 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 contingency exam date in the event that an awarding body needs to invoke its contingency plan.

What if I am ill?
What if I am late?
Can I leave early if I have finished?
No. Candidates leaving early can cause a disturbance that is unfair to others in the exam.
Please note that afternoon examinations may finish after the end of school so candidates may need to make arrangements to get home if you normally use the buses.
