What the petition asks
Birkenhead high school academy has taken away our freedom in sixth form, for years when you had a free lesson you could leave school. if you only had one lesson all day and say if that was in the morning you could go home after that , now we are being made to stay in school and put in classrooms.
Sixth form should be a place where we learn more freedom and experience that more freedom, now I’ve heard multiple people say they will not be going sixth form over this.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
