Inadequate infrastructure traps heat, creating dangerously high temperatures, putting children and staff at risk of heat exhaustion, disrupting learning, and forcing parents to take emergency leave. This is unsustainable. We urge the government to allocate funding for schools and nurseries to install adequate cooling systems, protecting and preserving our children’s health and education.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":12,"created_at":"2026-06-24T20:53:10.868Z","updated_at":"2026-07-28T15:10:26.133Z","rejected_at":"2026-07-28T15:10:16.776Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-06-25T17:13:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign these petitions which call for a similar action: \r\n\r\nRequire & Fund Air Conditioning in all early years settings\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/775012\r\n\r\nLegislate a statutory maximum temperature for classrooms and fund school cooling\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/774023"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
