Summer 2024-2025 contingency days
The awarding bodies have collectively agreed on a contingency day for several years now which is always scheduled at the end of the GCSE, GCE AS, and A-level exam timetables.
The contingency day is in the event of national or significant local disruption to exams in the United Kingdom, being part of the awarding bodies’ standard contingency planning for exams.
Following the Covid-19 pandemic, further resilience was needed within the exam timetables. A single contingency day was not felt to be sufficient if a national event or incident had a significant effect on the exam timetable. For example, summer exams could be affected by extremely high temperatures.
For the June 2025 exams, the awarding bodies have therefore introduced two additional half-day contingency sessions. These are on Wednesday, 11 June (PM session) and Wednesday, 25 June 2025.
Students must remain available until the final contingency day to accommodate any rescheduling needs due to disruptions
