The government has given all teachers an extra day off to make up for the Platinum Jubilee falling over half term.
Staff at schools across the country have been handed the additional break by the Department for Education, who has Nadhim Zahawi as Secretary of State.
The government shortened the academic year by one in response to the Queen's historic celebrations.
Announcing the change, the National Education Union said: 'Schools not already on half-term break on the day of the bank holiday will be able to close that day.
'Most schools will, however, be on half-term at the time of the bank holiday.
