Require schools to have half days on Fridays

What the petition asks
I want the Government to require schools to have half days on Friday. Some schools already have half days on Friday, and we think this should be made a requirement for all schools.
Friday is close to the weekend and some school pupils struggle with motivation towards the end of the week, and we believe having a half day on Fridays would help with this.
