Allow all school children inside at break and lunch times
Rejected

What the petition asks
Change COVID rules to allow us inside at break and lunch and not outside in the freezing cold.
We feel it is unfair that pupils have to stand outside in the cold to minimise the risk of COVID even thought we spend hours a day with each other in classrooms.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is a decision for individual schools.
