Rejected petition: Fairer School Holidays: A Flexible Time-Off System for Families
Rejected on
Allow parents to book school holidays like workplace annual leave, with a set number of days per year. Schools can approve or deny requests based on exams or attendance needs.
Families need fair, flexible options for time together without penalty. A system like workplace annual leave lets parents plan holidays responsibly, with a set number of days per year. Schools approve or deny requests to protect exams, attendance and learning. This supports wellbeing, reduces unauthorised absences, improves communication and gives families control while keeping education consistent.
