Why was this petition rejected?

We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.

We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.

The Government has responded to the petition calling for schools to be required to close on Fridays, saying that it has no plans to require schools to make Friday part of the weekend, and that regular attendance at school is vital for children’s education, well-being and long term development.
