Exam timetables Summer 2026

Exam Contingency Day:
Wednesday 24 June (all day) 2026

The awarding bodies have designated  Wednesday 24 June (all day) 2026 as ‘contingency days’ 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.

Centres must therefore remind candidates that they must remain available until Wednesday 24 June 2026 should an awarding body need to invoke its contingency plan. This should be factored into their plans, including for holidays and the availability of exam accommodation.

Summer 2026 Examination Results

The Department for Education have confirmed that results for summer 2026 exams will be on 13 August 2026 for AS/A-levels and 20 August 2026 for GCSEs.

Please be advised that all Exam results must be collected in person by the candidate. However, where a candidate is unable to do so they may send a representative on their behalf. The person collecting the results will need to show a valid photo-id together with a signed letter from the candidate authorising them to collect the results. The authorised person will be asked to sign for the collection of the results on the day.

 Post Results Services

After exam results are published, students may request a Post-Results Service if they believe there may have been an issue with the marking of one or more examination papers.

The services available are provided by the awarding organisations and may include:

• Clerical Check – A check that all marks have been added together correctly and that the marks have been transferred accurately.
• Review of Marking – A review to ensure the original marking was carried out correctly in line with the awarding organisation's marking scheme. This is not a re-mark and marks may go up, down or stay the same.
• Access to Scripts – Students can request a copy of their marked examination script for reference or to help decide whether to request a review of marking (where available).

Before requesting a review of marking, students should be aware that their final grade may increase, decrease, or remain unchanged following the review. Any change in grade is final and cannot be appealed simply because the outcome is different from the original result.

Students are strongly encouraged to discuss their results with their subject teacher before submitting a request, particularly if the outcome may affect university, college, apprenticeship or employment offers.

To request a Post-Results Service, please complete the Microsoft Form below. Requests will only be processed once all required information has been received and any applicable fees have been paid (where relevant). Please ensure requests are submitted before the published deadline, as late applications cannot be accepted by the awarding organisations.
