Allow students to go to toilet turning lesson time

What the petition asks
School have banned allowing us to go to toilets during lessons. I feel that this is completely not fair, there is two hours between break and much and some people do not have the time to go. School tells us that they are helping us for the workplace, you don’t see them stopping workers using the loo
I want an action to be made to allow students to go to toilets during lesson time, some people have medical conditions, others just simply need to use the toilet. You cannot physically prevent a human from needing a toilet at any age, we should have basic humane facilities and be able to go when we need to.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Decisions on policies regarding when students can leave the classroom are a matter for individual schools, not the UK Government or House of Commons.
As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
