This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about closing schools on particular days are a matter for individual local authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to require schools to close when it reaches certain temperatures, if that's something you'd like to happen. If you start a new petition you'd need to provide your full name.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Prevent enforcement of school uniforms if temperatures exceed a certain level: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/612028

Provide financial support for schools to install air conditioning in classrooms: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/620441
