To allow youngsters the chance to enjoy watching Gareth Southgate’s men give it their all to bring it home, a handful of headteachers will delay the register.
Moor End Community Primary School, Oswaldtwistle
The beloved Lancashire primary school will be keeping register open until 10am.
However, the premises will be open from normal, as staff are unfortunately still expected to pitch up on time.
If England do win, pupils are allowed to come in wearing red or white, or an England shirt.
A spokesperson said: “On Sunday, I’m aware a lot of children will be having a late night watching the football. Because of this, I’ve made the decision to have a slow start for the registers on Monday morning.
“If coming after 9am, they will need to come through the main reception as the gates will still be locked.
“As the children came into school yesterday singing, fingers crossed, It’s coming home!”
St Peter’s Roman Catholic Primary School, Blackburn
This Blackburn educational establishment will permit students to rock up as late as 10.30am.
But, those who arrive any time after this will be marked down as late.
The school will be open from the usual time for any students and parents who require it.
And, their breakfast club will be operating as usual from the regular hour.
England's route to the Euro 2024 final

Here’s their route to the final:
June 16 – vs Serbia: England win 1-0 with a goal from Jude Bellingham in the 13th minute.
June 20 – vs Denmark: Ended 1-1 after Harry Kane’s 18th minute strike was cancelled out by Morten Hjulmand.
June 25 – vs Slovenia: The match ended goalless but England topped the group with five points.
June 30 – vs Slovakia: In the last 16 clash Jude Bellingham saved England from being knocked out with a 91st minute equaliser. In extra time Harry Kane secured the win for the Three Lions.
July 6 – vs Switzerland: The quarter-final ended 1-1 after extra time with Bukayo Saka‘s reply to Breel Embolo’s strike. England won 5-3 on penalties.
July 10 – vs Netherlands: Another last gasp goal – this time by Ollie Watkins – saw England head into the final against Spain. Harry Kane scored from the spot to cancel out Xavi Simons’ 9th minute goal.
July 14 – vs Spain: England are in their first final on foreign soil and will be hoping to see off the challenge of Spain who won the Euros in 1964, 2008 and 2012.
A spokesperson said: “With the Euros final kicking off at 8pm Sunday, we do expect some late nights.
“In order for our children to have a good sleep and start their final week refreshed, the registers will be open until 10.30am on Monday.”
