Rejected petition Keep schools open during lockdown

Do not force school closures across England

More details

With the amount of work already missed this academic year it is vital that schools remain open to allow pupils to access the education they deserve.
Keep school open for the foreseeable future. Do not risk our children missing out on important education and long term mental health problems as a result. Pupils without access to ICT will be subject to exaggerated gaps in their progress. Schools already have measures in place to remain 'Covid-safe' and allow education to continue. 10YGRE
