Which boards do these dates cover?

The dates come from JCQ and the boards' own June 2027 timetables, covering AQA, OCR, Pearson Edexcel and WJEC Eduqas. Those boards share one common timetable, so the first and last exam days are the same whichever board you take.

Northern Ireland's CCEA and Scotland's SQA set their own dates. Our pages for them are coming; until then, check CCEA and SQA directly.
