After seeing some upset parents yesterday and the previous week where kids didn’t get the GCSE and IGCSE grades they were hoping for, we think this is a good time to explain to home educators what you are responsible for and how you need to ensure what the child is learning is suitable for the exam.

Home education under attack, STILL!
20/3/25 This week the Children's wellbeing and schools bill moved to the house of Lords, with parliament having its last discussion, you can view the highlights and shocking low lights here. We heard some amazing and passionate MPs support home educators, this is because of you writing to them and raising your concerns. We also heard some really ignorant comments that thankfully other MPs pulled them up on.
