This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise.

Term dates are determined locally by schools and local authorities. The Department for Education does not collect data on schools’ term-dates.

You can find guidance on the responsibilities for setting school term dates in the published School Attendance Guidance, which can be found at the following link: www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-attendance
