Limit compulsory homework in England to a maximum of 3 hours per week — 14 signatures. Status: open.
Introduce a limit of 3 hours per week spent on compulsory homework for pupils in schools in England, with schools required to coordinate homework across subjects so that pupils do not receive more than this amount.
This petition calls for a maximum of 3 hours of compulsory homework per pupil per week in schools in England. The limit would apply to homework across all subjects combined, with schools coordinating deadlines and workloads. The aim is not to abolish homework, but to prevent excessive workloads while allowing pupils enough time for sleep, family, hobbies, exercise and other activities outside school.
