This petition was submitted during the 2020-2024 Conservative government

Rejected petition Enable state school pupils, 1 week approved vacation, during term time.

Currently private school pupils have half price vacations, as their term times vary, compared to state schools. It is ridiculous that holiday companies can just double the price. To at least enable everyone an affordable vacation, an approved week off during term time would work.

More details

If the government can at least recognise, that it is unfair for state pupils families, to have to pay double the price for vacations, something can be done.
