Parents are responsible for the education of their child. You may choose to send your child to school to educate them, or you may choose an alternative.
One alternative is to educate your child ‘otherwise’ than at school, as the law states. This means you may educate your child at home, or in another location where the child’s learning is directed by you or other appropriate adults.
The series of paragraphs that make up guidance for parents are available from the links on the left-hand side and seek to explain and to discuss ‘Home Education’.
