Summer 2026 Contingency Day
The qualification regulators, JCQ and government departments responsible for education have prepared and agreed information for schools and colleges in the event of examinations being seriously disrupted. This jointly agreed information will ensure consistency of response in the event of major disruption to the examinations system affecting significant numbers of candidates.
The awarding bodies have therefore scheduled a full contingency day on Wednesday 24th June 2026 for examinations.
Contingency days are designed to be used in the unlikely event of national or significant local disruption to exams. This means holidays must not be booked before Thursday 25th June 2026.
