August Newsletters
Here’s a copy of the home education newsletter sent out this August And here is a copy of the newsletter sent to Local Authorities this month.
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.
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.
Here’s a sneak peak at our FB page feed where we share factual info as well as fun memes. Drop us a like, a follow and come chat to other Home Educators.
An old post but still a perfect one! - Lucinda Geography, history, RE and art (it was a busy day 🤣) We accidently did geography the other day. Walking the dogs, and the kids asked how the rivers, mountains and valleys where made. Who put them there? Who measures them? Can you see them from space? We talked about all of that; and about map reading, map symbols, compasses, tectonic plates, molton larva and many other things. We talked about the coal mines and the history of our local area. What is hidden inside our mountains and the industrial revolution. When we got home we talked about the ways religion covers how the world was created. How different religions believe mountains and valleys came to be. Then the kids made their own mountains, valleys and rivers.... this is still on going and has taken over a bit 🤣 All that from taking the dogs out! Learning is everywhere, just look for it every day. You'll be surprised how much you and your kids learn. Claire
This is not hyperbole, the bill will in effect ban all child led style learning, it will mean groups and tutors refuse access to home educators, it will (upon threat of prosecution) require you to update the register every time your child uses a new website, learns from another adult or goes to a group. Can you imagine the ridiculous amount of work this would involve? And this is jut one of the issues with the bill. Read this article to find out more.

Hobbies - Adults!! We often have parents worrying about time for themselves when home educating and having a hobby is proven to make us happier and healthier! So what hobbies do you manage to sneak it around your kids and home educating? I bell ring & also love photography. My kids have watched me doing this and now join in and will quite happily wait patiently with me to get "that" shot! #ukhomeed #homeeddad #homeedmum #learningfromhome #homeeducate #mentalhealthday
