A school in Leeds says pupils don't need to arrive at school at time on Monday.

The headteacher at Parklands Primary says they can arrive at 10.30am.

It's in case they're staying up until 11.15pm the night before to watch England's final with Italy at Euro 2020.

Chris Dyson says it's "business as usual" if there are childcare issues.

On social media, he added, "Rather a late start than an absence."

It comes alongside a petition calling for a bank holiday on Monday, if England win the match.
