How we got to where we are...

So, we've been home educating for a while now. Ava (2) and Frankie (4) have never been to school or nursery. Matthew came out of school in year 2 due to the school being pretty rubbish, and them putting him under too much pressure to write too much. Kianna and Charlei left their secondary school after the school failed to deal with endemic bullying. Jess chose to stay at school. Jess is now working, doing an apprenticeship at a nursery. After a year of home edding, Charlei got a place at college to study to be a chef.

Kianna decided, at the start of the summer holidays, that she would like to go back to school to do her GCSEs. Mainly because there were several subjects that she wouldn't be able to do at home, but also I think she missed the environment of school. Many discussions about the pros and cons later, and we all agreed that she could. And Matthew decided he wanted to go back to school, and Frankie decided she would like to start too.

And so, our home educating journey comes to an end, and our back to school journey begins...
