Football might not be coming home, but are you getting stay home a little longer than usual before school, today?

Sunday night was a big deal for football fans in England, with the Three Lions playing Spain in the 2024 Euros final.

Sadly the team lost 2-1 in the match, with Spain lifting the trophy.

With the game not kicking off until 8pm, the match finished at just before 10pm - which is quite late for a school night.

Because of this, some schools have decided to open later on Monday.

Is your school letting you have a lie-in? Let us know in the comments below.

While there has been no national policy told to schools by the Government, some schools across the country have sent out letters to parents offering pupils the choice to come into school a little bit later.

St Mary's Church of England Primary School & Nursery, in Sale, Trafford is one of them.

The headteacher wrote a letter to parents saying: "Due to the exceptional circumstances of an England final late on Sunday night, I am giving all children who wish to watch the football, permission to stay up late to cheer England on and bring it home."

Woodlands Primary School in Hertfordshire also let parents know that pupils could spend a little more time in bed.

Pupils there will be able to arrive until 9:25am.

And it isn't only schools opening a little later on Monday.

Supermarket chain Lidl, which is a sponsor of the tournament, said it would open all its stores in England an hour later on Monday so workers could enjoy some post-match celebrations.

Ryan McDonnell, the chief executive of Lidl in Great Britain, said: “We know how much this game means to England fans and we want to ensure that our colleagues have the chance to celebrate such a significant moment in English football history.”
