Please avoid taking holidays in any examination period. Subject teachers will indicate to their classes which students are entered for an examination. Students will usually receive an entry slip confirming the date of their exam(s) and whether it is in the morning or the afternoon. Subject teachers will also advise students of coursework deadlines and dates for the completion of portfolios. Failure to meet deadline dates usually results in non-certification.

Parents and pupils can access an online GCSE examination timetable for the very latest information on dates and scheduling at
