Examination Contingency Days 2025:
The Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) have designated Wednesday 11th June (PM) and Wednesday 25th June (all day) as contingency days for examinations in summer 2025.
This is consistent with the qualifications regulator’s document Exam System Contingency Plan: England, Wales and Northern Ireland – https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/exam-system-contingency-plan-england-wales-and-northern-ireland
The designation of contingency days within the exam timetable is in the event of national or significant local disruption to examinations in the UK. Centres must remind candidates that they must be available up to and including Wednesday 25th June 2025 should a contingency plan need to be implemented.
If a contingency session is used and a student is not available they will not be able to take the missed examination at another time.
