Kent County Council understands, respects and accepts the
right of parents/carers to educate their children at
home.
The Educating Children at Home leaflet offers
information and guidance to parents/carers who are considering
or have decided to educate their children at home.
Why home educate?
Home education is an option that families from many walks of
life consider to meet the needs of their children. For some
families it is a decision based on their philosophical, religious
or spiritual outlook, for others it may be that they simply feel it
is the best way of educating their children. There are many
different styles of home-education and parent/carers are free to
use the method which is right for them and their children.
KCC has an Education at Home Consultant (CEHC) who works with
parents who are home educating their children.
Return to school
If parents/carers wish their child/children to go or return to
school, they should make a direct application to an appropriate
school. Also it would be helpful to inform Admissions and Transport
that they no longer wish to educate their child/children at home.
The department is very willing to offer advice and help in securing
a school placement. |
