Home education is sometimes referred to as ‘elective home education’ or ‘home schooling’.
Are you considering making the decision to home educate your son or daughter?
Did you know that you can teach your child at home on a full-time or part-time basis?
Parents can find themselves facing this decision for a wide variety of reasons. If you make the decision to educate your child at home, you should tell the school that your child is currently attending. The school must accept if you’re choosing to take your child out completely. However, they can refuse, if you want to send your child to school for some of the time. If your child is attending school as part of a School Attendance order, you will need to get the permission of your local council before you can educate them at home.
