Open Reduce school homework to the core (English, Maths, Science) & GCSE subjects

Created by Livy Hunter
Closes on

I want the Government to ensure that homework can only be given for core subjects English, Maths and Science and for subjects being taken for GCSE. Pupils often find that homework can have an effect on them and other classmates, increasing anxiety and stress levels which then leads on to sleep loss

We believe this can have a large impact on a child’s mental and physical wellbeing, also their education. So we feel it would hugely increase and impact children’s health positively if we could reduce homework!
