Petition Reduce the school leaving age to 11

We want the Government to reduce the school leaving age to 11, so that children are not required to attend school after year 6.

More details

We believe children can learn at least as well outside of school as they can in school. We want the Government to give children the freedom to learn how they want, and not require them to attend secondary school.
