This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The UK Government doesn't set school holiday dates. These are the responsibility of individual schools and local councils.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
