General Updates:
The Exam Boards have published their examination timetables for Summer 2025, details of which can be found below.
Subjects with Non-Examination Assessments (NEAs) components have deadlines which are before written exams. These deadlines can range throughout the entire course, so may be during Year 10 or Year 11. Subject teachers will confirm exact deadlines dates directly with students for their particular subject.
Examinations run in the Summer 2025 series (May/June) are expected to run as normal with no adjustments
