The awarding bodies have designated Wednesday 23rd June 2027 as the ‘contingency day’ for examinations in the event of national or significant local disruption to examinations in the United Kingdom.
We must therefore remind students that they must remain available until Wednesday 23rd June 2027 should an awarding body need to invoke its contingency plan.
