Additional Bank Holiday for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee

As you will know, the Queen will be celebrating 70 years as monarch in 2022. An additional bank holiday has been set but it falls during the half term holiday in May/June. Schools have been given the opportunity to set the date at another time during the school year. We have decided to, rather than tag this date onto one of the holidays, have a long weekend in the middle of the year as I think we’d all appreciate it more. Therefore, school will be closed to all pupils on Monday 7th March 2022.
