Examinations

At Babington we wish to make the examination experience as stress-free as possible so that our pupils can attain their full potential. We have created this page to enable both parents and students to familiarise themselves with examination procedures and regulations.

It is essential that students are aware of when they have been entered for examinations and our students will receive a paper timetable listing all examinations they have been entered for in each examination series with dates and times.

It is important that students retain this information for reference.

Contingency Days

The awarding bodies have designated Wednesday 28 June 2023 as the ‘contingency day’ for examinations. The afternoons of Thursday 8 June and Thursday 15 June have been designated as ‘contingency afternoons’ for examinations. This is consistent with the qualification regulators’ document Exam system contingency plan: England, Wales and Northern Ireland – https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/exam-system-contingency-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. Therefore, candidates must remain available until Wednesday 28 June 2023 should an awarding body need to invoke its contingency plan.

Examination Rules and Regulations

Notices detailing the Examination rules and regulations are displayed outside the Examination rooms.
