Notes on the WJEC GCSE 2027 timetable
The big difference from 2026 is the arrival of The Sciences (Double Award), a Made for Wales qualification, with Units 1 to 3 on Wednesday 9 June, 11 June and 16 June. The older Science (Double Award) units are still sat in parallel, in six units across May and June.
Maths and Numeracy is now Units 1 to 3 on 14 May, 27 May and 14 June, beside the Eduqas Maths components. The older Wales Maths units are listed only for resits, so this page leaves them out. The timetable records Wednesday 23 June 2027 as the contingency session, and gives no start time.
