Year 7-9 Internal Examinations Week

Examinations will take place in classrooms for students in Years 7 – 9 between Wednesday 3rd June and Tuesday 9th June 2026. During the Internal Examination Week, students will go to their usual classroom for each period, to either complete an examination or revise, depending on their timetable. Where a student has PE on their timetable and no examination scheduled, they will be doing their PE lesson as usual.

These Internal Examinations are important as they provide the students, their teachers, parents/carers, and the school with useful information about how they are progressing with their learning. It also provides the students with an experience of what it is like to sit examinations and how to prepare for them. We would appreciate your support in ensuring students treat the Internal Examinations seriously but not to the detriment of their well-being.

We would encourage all students to complete a sensible amount of preparation, revising the work they have completed over the course of the year. This will allow them to perform at their best and allow everyone to make a fair judgement on how well each student is attaining. They will need to ensure they come to school with the necessary equipment for each examination, and they will be briefed on this when they receive their individual timetable. Students will also be provided with more details about what to revise for each examination from their teachers. Study skills advice will be given when they receive their timetables.

Contingency Day 2026

The awarding bodies have designated Wednesday 24 June 2026 as the ‘contingency day’ for examinations. This is consistent with the qualification regulators’ document Exam system contingency plan: England, Wales and Northern Ireland – gov.uk/government/publications/exam-systemcontingency- plan-england-wales-and-northern-ireland. The designation of ‘contingency days’ within the common examination timetable is in the event of national or significant local disruption to examinations in the United Kingdom. It is part of the awarding bodies’ standard contingency planning for examinations. Centres must therefore remind candidates that they must remain available until Wednesday 24 June 2026 should an awarding body need to invoke its contingency plan.
