QQ as school fobbing me off . The dates shown on exam board websites - will these be correct? School can’t confirm but I want to book a holiday and don’t really want to wait if I can help it

Usually but there is normally a day towards end of June that is reserved as a contingency day. Then there may be Prom, prizegiving etc to allow for.

Contingency day is 25th June. In theory you shouldn't go away before that as it will be used if exams can't be sat on their scheduled date for some reason.

Agree with PP, that you also need to factor in prom, and also any sixth form taster days/weeks.

She’s not bothered if she misses prom, she’s got her offers for uni already and we’ve been to some open days. I didn’t know about the contingency day… I only want to take her for a long weekend away after exams have completed - last exam currently 11/06
