Rejected petition Make part time schooling (flexischooling) a real option for schools and families
Flexischooling is currently a legal option at the discretion of the headteacher. However, in reality schools are too afraid of going against the system to allow it. But not all children thrive in full time school; many families could benefit from an alternative.
