Welcome to Educational Freedom – Home Education information and support service.

THE place for all things Home Education.

Educational Freedom is a non-profit organisation providing Home Education information and support. Our primary purpose is ensuring all Home Educators have access to FREE information and support. We aim to provide everything you could ever need to know about Home Education.

A great way of ensuring your Home Education journey goes smoothly is to read all of this website. The menu at the top will help you navigate each section.

 

Home Education and where to start.

Making the decision to Home Educate can be daunting. But be assured that there is plenty of support out there! There are lots of families that have been in your situation, and we have supported tens of thousands of them.

Read through all of our website to learn all about Home Education. Use the menu to navigate through all of our pages especially the WHAT TO DO FIRST page for your country. Navigating through each page in turn really will help you understand everything you need to do. Then move on to the dealing with the LA section.  

PLEASE NOTE: MOST PAGES SHOULD NOT BE READ AS A STAND ALONE PAGE, ENSURE YOU READ THE INFO IN OTHER MENTIONED PAGES TOO. 

 

Where to find us after you've read our website. 

Home Ed news, updates and blog posts.

Make sure to also look through our menu for the rest of the site.

Here’s a sneak peak at our public FB page feed where we share factual info as well as fun memes.  Join our closed group for advice and to chat to other home educators.  

Home education doesn’t have to look like school at home. There’s no required curriculum, timetable, or teaching style. What matters is that education is suitable for your child’s age, ability, and needs. Structured, semi-structured, child-led — all can be valid. Check out our page and blog posts for more information on different styles and what your day could look like!

The Question No One Wants to Ask About School Here is a question that makes many people uncomfortable: What if school is not the best environment for every child? For generations, society has treated school as the default — the unquestioned centre of education. But the growing number of home educating families suggests something important. For some children, school simply does not ..... https://educationalfreedom.org.uk/the-question-no-one-wants-to-ask-about-school/

Why Are So Many Parents Quietly Leaving the School System? Something unusual is happening across the UK. Every year, more parents are choosing to remove their children from school and educate them at home. Local Authority statistics show elective home education numbers rising year after year, yet much of the public conversation still frames home education as strange, risky, or extreme. So the obvious question is this: Why are thousands of ordinary families deciding that school is no longer the right place for their children? https://educationalfreedom.org.uk/why-are-so-many-parents-quietly-leaving-the-school-system/

It’s important to be honest: home education is not the right choice for every child, and it’s not the right solution for every family situation. It is important you fully understand home education and what it is and isn’t. https://educationalfreedom.org.uk/is-home-education-actually-right-for-your-child/
