Parents are allowed to educate their children at home instead of
school if they choose to do so. Under UK law it is education that
is compulsory, not schooling, though the vast majority of parents
do choose to send their children to school. Visit the Parents Centre website for
further information on the subject including guidelines on
elective home education.
Information regarding Elective Home Education is
also available through the Traveller Education and Minorities
Support Service (TEMS)
team.
