GCSE Exam Information 2026

This is a reminder that the GCSE Maths and English exams will start taking place from Thursday 14th May 2026 at 9:30am. 

Please be aware that all students not sitting their GCSE exams will not be required to attend college on the dates listed below from 9:00am to 12:30pm, apart from Pathways and A Level students, who will have been advised by staff what to do. 

Students should not come into college during these hours unless they have been specifically instructed to do so by a member of staff. Normal arrangements will resume on each exam day after 12:30pm.

Exam season can be a challenging time for students and for parents or carers who want to provide the right support without adding pressure.

Visit our parents’ hub for some practical, thoughtful ways you can help your child manage this period effectively – Supporting Your Child Through Exam Season – Chesterfield College. 

Thank you for your support, and we wish all students the very best for their exams.
