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

If you drop me a line I can point you in the direction of the local HE group whereby you can meet local Home Edders for a coffee and chat.

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.

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By malumbu · Posted

      I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?

      If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Sue · Posted

      But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
