Home Education in the UK: Webinar Replay

Thinking about home education but not sure where to start? You’re not alone — it’s a common question among families in our UK community. That’s why we hosted an expert‑led webinar exploring the practical steps, challenges, and opportunities of home education in the UK. The session covered everything from how deregistration works to choosing a curriculum that fits your child, as well as what day‑to‑day learning can look like at home.

We heard from UK‑based home‑educating parents and Outschool educators Amy Fischer and Emma Beal, who shared their experiences on curriculum choices, GCSE pathways, and the early stages of getting started. They also explained how online learning can support a flexible, low‑pressure home‑ed routine.

We recorded the full session so you can watch it back whenever it suits you. We hope it gives you clarity, reassurance, and a few sparks of inspiration as you explore what home education could look like for your family.
