To enable children to spend time away from school with family. These could be for day trips, holidays that are affordable or just to reinforce the love and care that children need from their guardians, as we believe families are crucial to a functioning society and supporting those bonds is key.

Extend the school week by 5 hours for longer holidays
The Government should make all schools have an extra hour in the school day but more weeks in summer, Xmas and in Halloween. I did the maths and if school has an extra hour every day you will have 5-6 weeks free for holidays!
Make Monday a half day for all secondary schools
Make a school day on Monday a half day for all secondary schools.
Introduce statutory paid leave for 1 parent if child too ill for school/nursery
We call on the UK Government to give one parent per household a statutory right to paid leave when their child is too ill to attend nursery or school, with pay and requirements equivalent to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP).
Mandate seven-hour days Monday to Thursday in schools for shorter Fridays
We ask the Government to require all schools to have seven-hour days Monday to Thursday, while Fridays are reduced to 4.5 hours. This would preserve the total learning time required for education while allowing students a shorter end to the week.
