What the petition asks

As this is killing weather
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about closing schools on particular days are a matter for individual local authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to require schools to close when it reaches certain temperatures, if that's something you'd like to happen. If you start a new petition you'd need to provide your full name.
We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:
Prevent enforcement of school uniforms if temperatures exceed a certain level: Prevent enforcement of school uniforms if temperatures exceed a certain level
Provide financial support for schools to install air conditioning in classrooms: Provide financial support for schools to install air conditioning in classrooms
