What the petition asks
I would like the schools to stay closed for 6 weeks and it not to be shortened because school can be stressful and especially when it’s boiling hot and we can’t function properly
We are at school for most of the year with a few 1 week holidays, the 6 week holidays can be relaxing for a student to get away from the school site and to have personal time to ourselves to catch up on sleep, to have some fun with friends and family.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
The Government has not announced any plans to reduce the length of school summer holidays in England, so we're not sure what you want the Government or Parliament to do.
