Flexible School Holiday Policy for Families: Allowing Holidays in Term Time

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

As concerned parents and advocates for family well-being, we urge education authorities to reconsider the strict regulations surrounding term-time holidays. We believe that families should have the opportunity to travel abroad during term time without facing unnecessary penalties or restrictions.

Recognising the importance of quality family time:
Family holidays are crucial for fostering strong bonds, creating lasting memories, and promoting overall well-being. Not everybody can afford breaks away in the school holidays due to the boost in price.
