Rejected petition: Dangerous high temperature schools / colleges
Rejected on
There are no maximum temperature at which schools With increasingly frequent heatwaves a lot of school are not equipped
I also believe that many educational settings in the UK potentially unsafe for both students and staff. believe that when temperatures reach a level that poses a risk to children
The petition is about setting heat guidelines in place for staff and pupils in both schools and college with extreme temperatures. It’s difficult for all in those conditions but even more so children with disabilities that need extra guidance and reminders about the safety of keeping hydrated. Correct sunscreen and regular up keep of this throughout the day. Some options to go home . The uk does not have AC systems like America and each summer is getter hotter
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
The Government has already published guidance for schools on managing high temperatures. You can find out more here: https://educationhub.blog.gov.uk/2025/06/hot-weather-and-heatwaves-guidance-for-schools-and-other-education-settings/
