Every child deserves a classroom fit to learn in.","additional_details":"The UK has already recorded temperatures above 40°C, and heatwaves are becoming more frequent. Many classrooms become hotter than recommended working temperatures, reducing concentration, affecting behaviour, worsening medical conditions and disrupting learning. Most school buildings were designed for a cooler climate and need adapting. Investing now will protect children’s education, improve staff wellbeing and create schools that are fit for the future.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":6,"created_at":"2026-07-13T14:01:07.900Z","updated_at":"2026-09-08T16:03:54.409Z","rejected_at":"2026-09-08T16:03:52.800Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-08-10T15:13:20.000Z","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":"We think your petition is very similar to this one which is already open:\r\n\r\nIntroduce a national Climate Resilient Schools Programme to protect education\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/775188\r\n\r\nYou may be interested in signing that petition; and also you may be interested in signing this one:\r\n\r\nLegislate a statutory maximum temperature for classrooms and fund school cooling\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/774023\r\n"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
