Mobile GCSE question - help with last date for exams

Can anyone help please. I’d like to book for next year and travel when my youngest DS will have finished his GCSE’s. How do I find out when the last exams will be?

There's a GCSE contingency day each year, and you're advised not to go away until after that date. It's usually the end of June, but it's not been announced yet. We're waiting too. Keep googling, but because of the current situation we're in, I don't think anything will be announced until Sept once they have a better idea what/whether there'll be any allowances made for exams.

Thank you for your replies. It’s so annoying not to know. If I book Disney for the 1st July, then hopefully I could bring the booking forward once a finishing date is announced?

Sounds like a plan. We're looking at deferring ours until 2nd week of July to avoid the 4th July celebrations, sounds miserable I know but will suit my family better.

Bear in mind too, that even if a date is given, it will likely be subject to change too. Such as this year with results day pushed forward.
The exam boards will not have been running for 2 years at that point!, so may need to make for allowances.

Who knows after the last 2 years!
Don't forget there will (hopefully) proms as well that are usually after they have finished exams. They should in theory be done by the beginning of July.

They are legally required to be available to attend school if requested until the last Thursday in June though usually they don't have to attend in person after they have sat their last exam.

Next year that is June 29th so booking for 1st of July is a safe bet

I know its a bit different this year but Ds finishes in school teaching this week as that is when their exams/testing finishes but he still has daily online classes that he is expected to attend after the 1/2 term until the 24th June
