Home Education

A story about Home Education was printed in the Guardian on Saturday; as with my recent post about boarding schools, this is a subject that seems to have generated more than one article in recent weeks, so it's probably worth looking at what information is currently available on this topic.

Education Otherwise is an organisation which provides support and information for families who have chosen to educate their children outside of school, and their website is a useful starting point for material regarding legal rights etc. The DfES has also set up a mini-site which aims to provide information on Home Education. Or for a more meaty piece of research on this subject, try looking at The Prevalence of Home Education in England; this is a report which was published in February.
