Exam boards have designated Wednesday 24 June 2020 as a ‘contingency day’ for examinations. In the highly unlikely event that there is national disruption to a day of examinations in summer 2020, exam boards could reschedule to dates up to and including the contingency day on 24 June 2020*. Should this happen, the affected candidates will be expected to make themselves available. Therefore, candidates and parents should take this into account when making their plans for the summer.* **This applies to all exams, except International Baccalaureate. For International Baccalaureate, the contingency session is the afternoon of Friday 22 May 2020.
