Exam Information for Candidates 

Students entered for an exam at Longley Park Sixth Form must read the up to date documents from the Joint Council for Qualifications regarding candidate information for external examinations, these include: 

 

JCQ Exam Contingency Days 

What are JCQ exam contingency days? 

  • The JCQ (Joint Council for Qualifications) requires that exam boards include contingency day(s) in the exam schedule.  
  • These are pre-planned days reserved in case national or significant local disruption prevents an exam from taking place. 
  • If such disruption happens, an exam may be moved to a contingency day. Because of this, students are required to remain available until the contingency day(s) even if their normal exam schedule ends earlier. 

JCQ contingency day(s) for exams: Wednesday 23rd June 2027- Students must remain available for this date. 

 

Exam Certificates 

Summer 2026 Leavers 

For students who finished Longley Park Sith Form in Summer 2026, certificates will be ready for collection from 14th December 2026. We will contact leavers about this nearer the time.  

 

Obtaining Older Certificates 

Certificates will only be held for up to 3 years from the year students completed their studies, after which time they will be destroyed. 

* Please be aware that certificates cannot be collected without arranging an appointment. 

If leavers wish for a nominated person to collect certificates on their behalf, then written permission must be obtained first, and this must be shown to either reception or the exams team.
