The jaw on our display skeleton has split right in half, from chin to teeth.
It's an old full sized plastic anatomical model, and a fairly clean break at a slight angle.
Is there any advice on the best/easiest way to repair it? What glue to use, etc.?

I repaired ours last year - skull was broken in a couple of places, several teeth had fallen out and there were a couple of other cracks - poor chap was in a bad way! I believe I used Selley's Plastic Glue and it seems to be holding together.

and if that doesnt work, drill tiny holes on either side, line up and join with a bit of metal (pin) and also glue, should hold.
