What the petition asks
Current summer breaks are often too short for children to fully rest, recover emotionally and physically, and spend quality time with their families.
Extend the summer holidays by at least one to two weeks, allowing children more time to rest, enjoy nature, and recharge for the upcoming academic year.
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.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, such as asking for a new legal minimum for the number of days or weeks that you think the school holidays should last.
