Elective Home Education is a term used to describe a choice by parents to provide education for their children at home, or at home and in some other way which they choose, instead of sending them to school full-time.

Parents who choose to educate a child in these ways, rather than sending the child to school full-time, take on financial responsibility for the cost of doing so, including the cost of any examinations, external assistance used, such as tutors or part-time alternative provision.

If Elect Home Education is something that you are considering for your child, then we would advise that you contact [email protected] (Sophie McNally, Assistant Headteacher) so that we can arrange a meeting to discuss options and some of the challenges that Elective Home Education poses.

We do understand that some parents may change their minds about home educating their child. If a parent wants to re-admit their child, then a school's normal process for in-year school admissions should apply. An application can be made at any school, at any time.
