A petition calling on the Government to require all schools to move to a four-day week has been rejected by ministers, despite attracting more than 126,000 signatures.
The proposal suggested extending the length of the school day by one hour in order to reduce the school week from five days to four.

Speaking across two separate news bulletins, Sam outlined some of the practical considerations schools would face if such a policy were introduced.
