Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee –
June 2022
Revised School Holiday And Session Dates 2021/22
Dear Parent/Carer
You will be aware that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will celebrate her Platinum Jubilee in June next year.
The First Minister Nicola Sturgeon confirmed, along with the other nations of the United Kingdom, the movement of the late May Bank Holiday in 2022 and the introduction of a Bank Holiday to mark the celebration of Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee on Thursday 2 June 2022.
As you are aware, Dumfries and Galloway does not have a late May Bank Holiday therefore we have written to the Scottish Government to request an additional day’s school closure which has now been accepted.
This does mean however that, to ensure schools are closed on Thursday 2nd and Friday 3rd June, it has been necessary to draw a day from the forthcoming winter break, with pupils now returning on Friday 7 January instead of Monday 10 January 2022.
The school term and holiday dates page on the Council’s website have been updated:

We would ask that if you have downloaded the pdf and/or i-calendar that you do so again to ensure you have the most up-to-date copy.
