Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Require schools to make every Friday a half day.

Change the timing so Friday will be a half day (in which pupils will go home at half the day)

More details

Pupils are usually really tired by Friday, and if the day was a half day, the students wouldn't be as tired, which means they would look forward to it, and then they would work more productively in actual lesson time than just barely working and not doing much.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
