Ask the Secretary of State for Education to reform the school experience. 

School is a key moment in a child's life. It should be an exciting time to flourish, not be anxious.

But young people in the UK surveyed about their wellbeing were more unhappy with school than any other measure of their life. Reform to the education system must include a prioritisation of children's wellbeing. 

School should be about more than just exams. It should be about supporting children to develop socially and emotionally, so they can live happy and fulfilled lives.

We're calling on the Secretary of State for Education to use upcoming education reviews to ensure that pupil wellbeing is at the heart of education.

Write to the Secretary of State now.
