What the petition asks
Reduce 6 weeks hols to 5 and let children choose a 6th week to go on holiday during term time as long as it doesn't coincide with exams or tests.
Holiday companies are charging extortionate prices during school holidays and we are not allowed to keep children off school during term time, this would be an ideal solution.
