Educating your child at home

In most cases parents are happy with their children's education being provided by a school. Schools work to a common curriculum framework and are generally very successful in supporting the academic progress and personal development of children. Effective schools develop a good partnership with parents. Occasionally, parents prefer to arrange their child's education 'otherwise' than in a school, usually providing their lessons at home. Parents who educate their children at home may do so for a number of reasons, possibly based on firm convictions about education.

If you have not already done so, the next step is to contact the Principal Education Welfare and Partnerships Officer at the LEA. For address details, see Contact Us.
