Petition Wording

I am writing to ask you to consider my petition.  As parents, teachers and students/pupils know, primary schools start at 08:45 and secondary schools start at 08:30.  I would like schools to start an hour later in the mornings meaning primary schools would start at 09:45 and secondary schools at 09:30.

A test in England has shown that students get better exam results if school starts an hour later.

Thank you for your consideration.

Cai Ellerton, 13.
