Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about closing schools on particular days are a matter for individual local authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to require schools to close when it reaches certain temperatures, if that's something you'd like to happen. If you start a new petition you'd need to provide your full name.
We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:
Prevent enforcement of school uniforms if temperatures exceed a certain level: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/612028
Provide financial support for schools to install air conditioning in classrooms: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/620441
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
