No school on Wednesday due to unbearable heat

No school on Wednesday due to unbearable heat — 12 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

I would like the UK government to not force children to go to school on Wednesday the 24/6/26 as the weather is due to reach massively hot temperatures.

Additional details

As a student I believe making us go to school in these incredibly hot temperatures is close to torture. We should not be made to sit in a un-air conditioned with 30 or more other students and are still expected to be able to focus on the lesson. I’m aware that school is vital for a child but how are we expected to learn when we are so uncomfortable. On Wednesday the temperature is predicted to reach 35-37 degrees. This is far to hot to be in school and it is the hottest day of the year so far!
