Contingency Day | Friday 2 July 2021 | All day | 09:00 - 17:00 |
These exam dates are all mandatory, including the Contingency Day.
Attendance - If a student misses an exam, it is highly unlikely they will be able to achieve a grade 4, so it is vital that all students attend each of the exam papers for which they have been registered.
The Contingency Day is in place in case something happens on a national basis that prevents one of the timetabled days from taking place ie major national incident such as terrorism, extreme weather, transport issue. All students need to be available on this date as well as on their scheduled exam dates in case of this eventuality, as the exam may be rescheduled. If students/parents have booked holidays and students are therefore unable to attend exams they will be marked absent and get 0 marks for that paper.
