Fund heating in schools and set a legal minimum temperature for classrooms

Closed 62 signatures

What the petition asks

The energy crisis is forcing primary schools across England to reduce their heating. This is an appalling situation: small children are spending their days in cold temperatures as they learn.
The Government should increase funding to schools so that they can heat their classrooms to a sensible legal minimum temperature.
