Closed petition Require schools across England to start the school day at 10am.

Closed on 17 September 2021

Children across the country have missed out on vital bits of education this year. Due to this I believe the UK Government should do anything possible in order to increase the knowledge of students across the country.

To increase students’ productivity I would like the Government move the start of the school day to 10am. Teenagers and adolescents going through puberty go through changes in their circadian rhythm which means they naturally fall asleep later and wake up later, making it difficult to be alert early in the mornings. Currently they are fighting their own biology to get to school on time. An early start can cause chronic sleep deprivation which in turn can affect there learning ability and adult health.
