Rejected petition Review the 6 weeks school holiday. Allocate another week to christmas.

The 6 weeks period to much for parents and children to deal with. We get told time and time again that children need stability and routine and then the government decide to flip this on its head and give them 6 weeks off! For both children and parent mental health, this needs to be reviewed!

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.
