It depends on whether it is a single exam out of many that make up the GCSE qualification, or if it is just the for the whole GCSE. In most cases if you don't go into the exam and don't even put a mark on the paper it will not count and the only thing lost is the fee of the exam (which some schools may charge you for). There also can be a withdrawal fee of around £30.

BE CAREFUL with controlled assessments or coursework because if they have been submitted then not doing the exam part of the course can result in just getting a low mark on the whole GCSE (U probably).

Although telling the school can sometimes have negative consequences, it may be best to discuss any decisions regarding 'missing' exams and weigh up academic consequences (with parents, older children ,or certain teachers).

I would STRONGLY ADVISE checking with the exam board for the particular exam you have been entered for! Phone them up and specifically ask what would happen (get the exam code). If a teacher is willing, ask them to check because sometime information isn't that easy to get out of the exam board.
