Petition Reduce the minimum length of the school week

The current minimum expectation for mainstream state-funded schools in England is 32.5 hours, and we think this should be reduced to approximately 28 hours so teachers and students alike can get a proper break.

More details

We think this would mean we can get the break the students and teachers so rightly deserve.
