Rejected petition Reduce the school summer holidays by 3 weeks

We would like the summer holidays for all school children to be reduced to 3weeks.

More details

6 weeks off in the summer is unnecessary, it's an amazingly difficult time for many families to arrange childcare and work their jobs.
The children themselves are bored after a few weeks and longing for the return of their routine.
Particularly at present it will allow for extra learning that has been missed during the current pandemic.
