Closed Limit the school week to three days

Closed on

We want the Government to shorten the school week to three days, from the current five.

Given the current cost of living crisis, and high levels of inflation, we believe it would be better for schools to focus on delivering high-quality education for a three-day week, rather than struggling with the cost of continuing to remain open five days a week. This should reduce energy costs for schools, and travel costs for teachers.
