Rejected petition Make it a law for schools in England to start at 10am.

It is scientifically proven that children are more alert at 10am. We believe that children should come to school fully awake and ready for the day of learning ahead of them. Children find it difficult to wake up and get ready and that is one of the reasons that they dislike attending school.
