Contingency Day
The following contingency day has been timetabled by the awarding bodies: Wednesday 24th June 2026

This contingency day is designed to be used in the event of national or significant local disruption to examinations. Candidates need to be available for this contingency session in case their exam is rescheduled to this day.

Public Examination Start Times
Morning exams at Christ's College start at 9.00am and the afternoon sessions start at 1.00pm. Students will need to arrive at least 15 minutes before the start of the examinations. Please note that for some students the afternoon exam sessions may finish after the end of the college day and any students who are normally provided with home to school transport will have to make their own arrangements.

Absence
Any candidate who is deliberately absent from an examination, which he or she is due to take, will be liable for the cost. Justifiable absence must be explained by a parental note without delay. In cases of illness, any student who wishes this to be taken into account by the Exam Board, should submit a doctor’s note (if possible) to enable the Exams Officer to apply for a Special Consideration.

Dress Code
Students will undertake examinations in full school uniform.
