This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We don't know exactly what you are asking for in this petition - is your petition calling for funding to be made available to parents or the school?

We also don't understand what "something" refers to in this sentence: "however for the school to do something he needs a full assessment"

We could accept a petition asking for a review into the funding of assessments for dyslexia and dyscalcula to ensure that pupils from low income families are not disadvantaged?

[MH] I find this unclear - I don't know exactly what the line "for the school to do something" refers to (presumably support of some sort?)

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