Petition · past parliament

Let children in all schools all over the UK have a longer summer holidays.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Give children all across the UK a longer summer holidays to be able to spend more time with their loved ones. I think we should let children have all of July off as it is summer as well as August which we already have off.
I think teachers would also love this too as they would also like to spend more time relaxing with their loved ones in summer.

Why it was rejected

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

2 months of holidays in summer for pupils in schools.
