Exam Board's Timetable
Data is taken from awarding bodies basedata and subject to change in the event of external issues e.g. Covid etc.
Students will be issued with individual timetables for confirmation of their entries before the start of the exam series.
Contingency Days
Contingency days are added to the exam calendar to cover unexpected timetable changes.
The following date has been marked as the contingency day for Summer 2026 series:
Friday 1 July 2026
Students are expected to remain available for these dates even if their timetable is complete. Please do not book any holidays until after the contingency days have passed.
Speaking Assessments and NEA assessments (practicals and coursework) will follow a separate timetable and will be managed by Heads of Department for that subject. Please contact your subject teacher if you have any questions relating to these.
For all other queries, please contact the Exams Officer at exams@bolderacademy.co.uk.
This is a provisional timetable for indicative purposes only and will be updated once boards and exam codes have been confirmed.
