Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Require schools to have half days on Fridays

I want the Government to require schools to have half days on Friday. Some schools already have half days on Friday, and we think this should be made a requirement for all schools.

More details

Friday is close to the weekend and some school pupils struggle with motivation towards the end of the week, and we believe having a half day on Fridays would help with this.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
