Parents to take their children out of school any time for 2 weeks each year.

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

I think this would be a great idea because holidays during normal school holidays are too expensive, but going on holiday is good for parents and children and should be available to as many people as possible.

This 2 weeks will be deducted from normal holiday periods. Teachers should also be allowed 2 weeks off of their own choosing.
For example, instead of 6 weeks off during the summer, this could be reduced to 4 weeks and the other 2 weeks left for parents to take off as they please.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Make an allowance for up to 2 weeks term time leave from school for holiday.
