We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
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 Give students a right to opt out of dance, drama and physical education
We want school children to be given the right to opt out of dance, drama and physical education. Being required to perform in dance and drama, and take part in physical education, can have an adverse impact on students, especially when they are insecure.
More details
We believe giving students a right to opt out of dance, drama and physical education would help many children feel better at school, and could help improve attendance.
