This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions on policies regarding when students can leave the classroom are a matter for individual schools and teachers, not the UK Government or House of Commons.

If you are unhappy with how your school or teacher deals with requests to use the toilet, you should raise this with your school or parents.

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