This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Parents have the right to withdraw their child from the daily act of collective worship if they wish.

Sixth-formers can decide for themselves whether or not to attend, without giving a reason for doing so.

Therefore it is unclear what you want the Government to do on this matter. You could submit a petition calling for the law to be changed so that schools no longer have a duty to arrange daily acts of collective worship.

Have your say on this petition!
