England
Told you we'd win- come on England!
So which strategy did your school adopt?
a) Turn a blind eye to the hundreds of forged notes to go to the dentist
b) Close at 2:30
c) Keep calm and carry on

My School chose option 'C' which led to 30 arguments with pupils!
My better half's school took the following bizarre step: They start early and close at 15:00 anyway. A large screen was set up in a hall so the kids and staff could watch the match. All well and good, you might think.
But wait! Kids were given explicit permission to ASK for permission (???) to leave lessons at TWO o'clock... to watch the pre-match warm up!!!

We're fucked. Ball kicking twats trump schooling.

As the young people say - wtf?
We let parents collect kiddoes in time for the match. Stupid.
So what happens the next time someone is prosecuted for taking their children on holiday during term time?
We gave teachers the option of showing the game, on whiteboards etc, and moved the start of the last period so it ran 2:58-4 (when we close).
Of course they all missed the end on the buses home.
Ah well. After that humiliating Jake the Peg performance we won't have to worry about it from now on. Always a silver lining, eh.
