Key Dates:
GCSE Exam Season: 11th May – 23rd May 2020

This ensures that there is an option to postpone an exam (or exams) in the event of an incident and rearrange them for a later date. Exam candidates must be available to sit exams from the date of their first, up to and including Wednesday 24 June 2020.
Results Day: 20th August 2020

Post results services are available after the publication of results, including clerical rechecks and a review of marking. Awarding bodies charge fees for these services. If you would like more information about this then please contact the exams officer at school.
