Home Education

This section is designed to simply explain the basics of elective home-education and the specific role of a Local Authority (LA). It should help you to understand what happens in Cumbria to promote partnership between the LA and families who choose to provide their child(ren) with education 'otherwise' than 'by regular attendance at school'. You may already be an established home educator, with well thought-out ideas about an approach that works for your family. However, many parents have questions and sometimes doubts about how it all works.

Cumbria County Council provide Home schooling as part of their Children's Services.
