The dates listed in the tabs below give you a rough idea of when exams are sat for different qualifications. They are a rough guide only, and your tutor will advise you of the exact date and time for your exam during your course.
GCSE exams are set by a national timetable, meaning that all GCSE learners across the county take the same papers on the same days.
Functional Skills and ESOL exams are not dictated by a nation-wide timetable like GCSEs, and exams are taken during your usual classroom session within a 1-week window set by the service.
These dates are for both English and Maths papers across all levels.
Re-sit exam windows are also available if needed. Your Tutor will advise you.
