This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We understand that you want to see changes to how mental health is dealt with in schools, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

Education about physical health and mental wellbeing is already part of the Department for Education's statutory guidance on Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education, which forms part of the national curriculum: www.gov.uk/government/publications/changes-to-personal-social-health-and-economic-pshe-and-relationships-and-sex-education-rse

The curriculum content on mental wellbeing includes how to recognise and talk about emotions, self-care techniques, and where and how to seek support.

We could accept a petition calling for changes to the national curriculum content on mental health, but it would need to be clear what changes you want. We could also only accept a petition about this in respect of England, as education is a devolved matter in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
