Rejected petition Start Schools at 10am because children are way too tired in the early morning.

I personally get really tired and distracted in the morning lessons even after having a full 10 hour sleep with no disturbances. Starting at 10 am would give the children like me longer to get prepared for school, finish homework and get dressed so they look smart for school.

More details

Stop all schools from starting early but you can allow students to get home later so they are in the right mental state to achieve their full potential.

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 length of the school day are decisions for schools and their governing bodies to make.

If you would like the Department for Education to issue guidelines, or impose requirements on schools, about the length of the school day you could start a petition asking for that.

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