As well as the annual bank holidays we all know and love, there will be an extra one this year to mark the coronation of King Charles III, on Monday, May 8; the coronation itself will take place two days earlier on Saturday, May 6.

Below is a list of all the bank holidays coming up, as well as the school holiday and half-term dates.

Councils are advising parents to double check with their child's school about half-term dates, as some may have teacher training days or a different holiday schedule.

Some academies and voluntary-aided church schools may not follow the same schedule, and parents should check with them directly for their half-term holiday dates.
