Important Dates for Year 11 – 2025/26
GCSE Summer Exams 2026 start on the 7th May 2026 and continue until near the end of June 2026. The exact end date depends on the subjects your son/daughter is taking. Below is a timetable of all GCSE subjects at Wadham and their exam date for Summer 2026.
Wadham GCSE Timetable - Summer 2026
'My Big Year' is a website/app that students can use to generate their own personal GCSE exam timetable for 2026 based on the subjects they are currently studying. They can find the exam board information from the 'Wadham GCSE Timetable - Summer 2026' link above. Students will get a timetable from the school early in 2026.
The 24th June 2026 is a Contingency Day and is on the exam timetable in the event of national or significant local disruption to examinations in the United Kingdom. Students need to be available for this day, so parents should not book holidays until after 24th June 2026.
