Make all schools in London serve halal food during lunch

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Halal food is not on offer during lunchtimes at all secondary schools. This limits the choice of food that Muslims can eat and gives them very little options that are healthy, high in protein and nutritious.
A high percentage of students at Enfield County School are Muslim and they are not given the same offers of food as other students.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This is a decision for individual schools, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could raise this with your school's senior management or governing body.

You could also start a new petition asking the Government and Parliament to change the law so that schools in England must provide halal or kosher food if their students request it.
