Rejected petition Schools start at 10:30 instead of 8:30

Schools start at 10:30 so the students can get better sleep and have more time for breakfast without stress to catch a bus, car or walk to school late

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 length of the school day are decisions for schools and their governing bodies to make.

If you would like the Department for Education to issue guidelines, or impose requirements on schools, about the length of the school day you could start a petition asking for that.

We have published a petition calling for the Government to impose requirements on schools to shorten the length of the school day to 4 hours: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/300614

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