Following the death of our sovereign, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, a period of National Mourning has started and will continue until the end of the State Funeral. This is a period of time for reflection in response to the death of the Sovereign. The Department for Education has confirmed that normal school attendance is expected during this period.
The date of the State Funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has been set for Monday 19 September. This day will be a bank holiday and settings that are normally closed on a bank holiday will close on this day as a mark of respect. The Department for Education has confirmed this will include schools. Therefore school will be closed on Monday 19 September. I hope you and your family will be able to use this day as a time for reflection and commemoration of the remarkable life of our Queen.
