A one-off 45-minute special episode will air on BBC Three marking the show's 10-year anniversary.
However, it's not the last fans will see of Abbey Grove school as a new Bad Education spin-off series has also been announced.

Written by co-executive producers Jack Whitehall and Freddy Syborn, the episode will bid farewell to Alfie and set up the new spin-off series.
A brand-new intake of unruly students will be welcomed to Abbey Grove for the spin-off.
The comedy will see two former classmates, world class diva Stephen (Layton Williams) and soon-to-be-family man Mitchell (Charlie Wernham) take on roles on the other side of the desk as newly qualified teachers.

Commenting on the news, Whitehall said: "I'm so pumped for a 10-year anniversary special of Bad Education, the show that launched my career.
"I have such fond memories and it will be great for the fans to check in and find out what class K have been up to since they left and if Alfie Wickers is still as much of a melt as they remember.
"The new series is so exciting. I'm so old and irrelevant I've decided it's best I take more of a producer role with Bad Education, but we've assembled a young, talented group of writers led by the brilliant Nathan Bryon who will be carrying the torch.

"Charlie Wernham is his generation's Danny Dyer but with less royal heritage. Hopefully being a lead in this will be a springboard to him doing a decade of violent Brit flicks about hooliganism.
"Layton Williams is a superstar. I honestly think one day he will be an EGOTT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony, TV Choice Award winner). Abbey Grove and the new class K couldn't be in safer hands," he concluded.
There's currently no official release date for the Bad Education anniversary special, but it's expected to air at some point this year.
