You can Home Educate at any age.

There is a huge Home Ed community in South East London, we even have our own sport day every summer at Crystal Palace Park. There are various Home Ed social and study groups , they are at Dog Kennel Hill Adventure Playground , East Dulwich Community Centre on Darrell Road, Dulwich Scout Hut , Robotic Engineering at Albrighton Road and so on.

We have ice skating classes too , the list is endless .


There are various active community pages on FB reflecting the large HE community whereby educational trips are organised weekly , summer holiday camps and so on .


There are so many drop off study groups too where the children can study in groups of 6 or less .

Some families follow the national curriculum , some are more free flowing , some have private tuitions , some attend the Home Ed school at Peckham Rye Park.


Any other questions , let me know .

Hi everyone I also would appreciate if someone could pm me with further info please


I would also appreciate it if someone could pm me who is doing home schooling or who has gone through the process. My family and partner is very against me home schooling my daughter, worries are she will be vulnerable to society, won't be street wise or will become shy and regress. Any advise will be much appreciated.


Thank you

Hello,


I am based in CAMBERWELL and considering homeschooling my 4yr. She is currently at school but I would like to explore all options and thus make a more informed decision for her education. Some advices would be welcomed in fact I'd love to meet up with group of parents already educating their children at home, to see if this could be an option for us.

Hi all, I am moving to the area from Spain, with two boys 8&10 years, in the next month. I been home edding for 4 years and wanted to organise a few meet ups and see what is going on in the area. It Would be great to hear from other with children of similar ages as we would very much like to meet other families in the area.


Cheers

    • I disagree with the who concept of tidying one room at a time. I find it's more effective to increase the overall level of tidy by 10% regularly, and take regular breaks.  Always straighten your bed first - your bed is your priority and your haven. Change the sheets if you have clean ones to use. 1. pick up all rubbish around the house; take it out. 2. pick up all crockery etc that needs a wash: put it all in one place and start to sort it out. Wash and dry whatever you can put away easily. Wash things by type - I'll do cups then plates, then cutlery, then pots..... 3. Kitchen surfaces - tidy things you can, be ruthless - everything is going to need a home. Sweep the floor, wipe the surfaces. 4. Pick up all laundry around the house. Start to sort it out so you are in control of it - wash types together - eg all sheets.  4. bathroom - so on..... Then, the entire house is an better environment. and you can just keep going.  
    • There was me overcome with memories of articles in women's magazines from the 1950s advising their readers how to be a good housewife and thinking it's like feminism never happened. Until I read the last paragraph. Be warned, this is PR from someone who runs a cleaning company.
    • Carpet can be a pain at times, the maintenance takes effort. I’ll look into that spray as a handy in-between for freshening things up. Steam cleaners are becoming more popular too and definitely seem more hygienic than a mop and bucket.  
    • I've found it quite a useful thread.  Apparently protein powders are toxic. Not that I have ever, or will ever, try them.   https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/the-hidden-dangers-of-protein-powders
