Rejected petition: Modernise School Holidays for Moder Families
Rejected on
I want the Government to modernise school holidays for modern family life by reducing school holidays, especially summer. Moving inset days into holidays, stop travel providers doubling prices.
Children have 92 days off school, working parent 50 days combined, doesnt add up
Im a mother working full time in a professional career. Ive worked hard to built a successful life and stable future for my daughter, showing her you can be a dedicated parent whilst still having a career. But school holidays make this difficult. Our school calendar needs to reflect modern family life. Shorter holidays could reduce pressure, whilst affordable school-based camps would provide familiar, safe environment for our children when parents are working. Yet affordable holiday means a fine
