GCSE EXAMS 2025
What You Need to Know
The 2025 GCSE exam season in England is scheduled to begin on Thursday, 8 May and will run through to Thursday, 19 June. These dates mark a crucial period for students as they work towards achieving the qualifications that will shape their next steps in education and future careers.
This is a significant time for students, and consistent preparation is key to success. We encourage students to create a structured revision plan, use a range of study techniques, and seek support from tutors when needed. Staying organised, getting plenty of rest, and taking care of mental wellbeing are just as important as academic study.
For parents, this period can also feel demanding, but your support is vital. Encouraging healthy routines, providing a quiet space for revision, and offering emotional reassurance can make a meaningful difference to your child’s confidence and performance.
