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 Government is only responsible for the education system in England, as education is a devolved matter in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to introduce a statutory requirement for maintained schools in England to have a pledge of allegiance, if that's what you want to happen.

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