Education Otherwise - home education
Though education is compulsory in the UK for children between the ages of five and sixteen, school is not.
Many families prefer to educate their children otherwise than at school, and it is their right under UK law to do so.
Home educating families do not have to follow the National Curriculum and there is no single 'right' way to educate a child at home.
Education Otherwise provides:
- information and resources for home educating families and those considering home education for the first time
- guidance on Home Education (HE) and the law, SEN and disabilities
- downloadable fact sheets
- links to local home education groups.
if you are new to HE and have questions such as:
- my child has an EHCP, can I home educate?
- do I need consent to remove my child with EHCP from the school roll?
- my child is home educated. Can I apply for an EHCP?
