Ban outside PE in extreme weather

What the petition asks
I want to put a ban on doing physical education outside when there are extreme weather conditions, whether hot or cold.
Many types of extreme weather affect the UK, including strong winds, storms, floods and extremely hot and cold temperatures. The UK weather can get to 0 degrees which is freezing point or it can be unbearably hot. The weather is also extremely unpredictable. Extreme hot and cold weather can cause many health issues which can prevent students from coming into school, and might contribute to hospital waiting lists.
