The Summer 2026 GCSE timetable is below. Please also read the following important notes about contingency dates.

The awarding bodies have collectively agreed 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.

Schools and colleges should ensure candidates and parents are aware of the contingency arrangements on this day. They should consider the contingency day of Wednesday 24 June 2026 when making their plans for the summer. Candidates must remain available until Wednesday 24 June 2026 should examinations need to be rescheduled.
