Rejected petition Shorten summer holidays and extend Christmas holidays

The summer holidays are far too long especially for the families that can’t afford the expenses of going out all of the time. The Christmas holidays would be better with an extra week or two off especially with the bad weather.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The UK Government doesn't set school holiday dates. These are the responsibility of individual schools and local councils.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
