Petition Action

Bring forward school summer holidays to aid the response to COVID19.

Petition Details

In order to prevent the continued spread of COVID19 we believe that schools should not return on the 1st of June and that we should bring forward the summer holidays to begin in mid June until the end of July. Allowing isolation without affecting the education of our students

Additional Information

Change the summer holidays of schools in England and prevent further death of students, staff and their families. This would allow us more time to deal with the current crisis without further impact on schooling for our children
