Closed petition Require schools to open for optional activities during the holidays

Closed on 30 May 2024

Require schools to open their doors during the holidays so children have somewhere to go and something to do during the holidays. It could help keep children off the streets. Each week could be a different activity such as cooking, sports, arts and crafts, sensory.

During the school holidays it is so hard to find childcare. Schools being open to doing something like this would help many families with childcare. School might not be so scary for those children with anxiety if they visit the school during the holidays especially the 6 week holiday. Children could bring their own lunch. I don’t understand why schools aren’t doing more during the holidays.
