Rejected petition Let all parents / guardians attend school sports days and other activities.
Allow access to school sports days and other activities. Let families attend schools to watch their children in activities. We have missed so much as parents already and the children are suffering, stop all this nonsense and allow us back in school to make memories again.

So it’s ok to sit down the pub INSIDE with complete strangers, it’s ok to jump around with complete strangers to celebrate the football score, but I can’t go and watch my children run a race OUTSIDE for their school sports day. I can’t go and watch my daughter in her year 6 leavers production (the only chance I will ever get to see her do this) but I can go and sing and hug and jump around all over a bunch of men and women while we sing football songs together. How is that fair or logical??
