Examinations

We use the following Examination Boards:

The main external exam series takes place during

May & June

The final date for exams during Summer 2026:

A-Level: 23rd June 

GCSE: 17th June 

A crucial date for our students and families to note is the contingency day, which has been set for Wednesday, 24th June 2026. Students are advised to be available up to and including this date in the unlikely event of national or significant local disruption to the exam schedule.

Personalised exam timetables will be issued directly to all Year 11 and Year 13 students once finalised. Students must refer to their individual timetables for specific dates, times, and seating arrangements. A general timetable will also be published on this page and the Arbor Parent Portal.

Results Days

A-Level Results Day: Thursday 13 August 2026

GCSE Results Day: Thursday 20 August 2026

Students are invited into school to collect their exam results and receive support and guidance from key staff (should it be required). Further information about the location of collection and times will be made available to students in the Summer Term.

We do not provide students or their families with results over the telephone or by email however we will accommodate the following alternative arrangements for results collection:

  • A stamped self addressed envelope for results to be posted. This should be provided ahead of the student leaving school in the Summer Term. 
  • Written authorisation from the student for someone else to collect their results on the day. This should include the name of the person collecting the results and the student’s signature. 

Guidance on access arrangements and the procedures for requesting exam scripts or a review of marking can be found below:

Examination certificates

The certificates from the summer exams can be collected from Reception. They must be collected in person and signed for.

If you are unable to collect your certificates in person you must contact Mrs Baker, our exams officer, to arrange alternative arrangements.
