Examinations

Exam Contingency Days:
Thursday 8th June (pm), Thursday15th June (pm)and Wednesday 28 June (all day) 2023

The awarding bodies have designated Thursday 8 June(afternoon), Thursday 15th June (afternoon)and Wednesday 28 June (all day) 2023 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 28 June 2023 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 2023 Examination Results

The Department for Education have confirmed that results for summer 2023 exams will be on 17 August 2023 for AS/A-levels and 24 August 2023 for GCSEs.

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.
