Rejected petition All schools should remain closed until the new school year begins in September.

Due to the continuing coronavirus epidemic the government should not require schools to reopen for all pupils until the new school year begins in September.

More details

The coronavirus epidemic in the UK is far from under control with approximately 4,000 new cases still being confirmed every single day.

Parents should not be put in a position where they face a choice between breaking the law or putting their family’s health at risk if schools reopen with all pupils required to attend.
