I want to talk to them before enrolling my daughter in it, but have been unsuccessful at emailing them on the email address they provided on their contact page. It's the email address that starts with "enquiries3". The email just bounces back to me and say delivery failed. I tried calling them on the number provided and got through to voice message (tried both days now, and called in the morning and afternoons), left a message with my contact number. Nobody called me back.

I'm not sure if there is an updated email address that they'd just forgotten to update on their website. If someone can give me it, thanks in advance. Also is it always quite common for them to take a while to answer enquiries?

I really wish to enrol my daughter in this one though.

Hello
I think the email address is [email protected]
I was just looking at this school and thinking about emailing them. I will try it now. I looked at InterHigh as well.

Hi sorry have only just seen your response. Yes got a response and everything seems fine. DD is now in the school. Decided against Interhigh. One major point that swung it for me - well 2 points, really - is that every class is recorded in Briteschool but for Interhigh lessons are not recorded and only the Powerpoint slides for lessons available to view. DD's memory like a sieve and sometimes we have to miss lessons for other activities, so the recorded lessons are just what we need. Another point is we don't need to and don't want to commit to a full curriculum with online school as that will mean we won't be able to do other things like attend HE meetups and activities on any weekday mornings. It's something to think about and before signing up. Now DD is doing two subjects by correspondence with Oxford Homeschooling for the flexibility of timing. The other subjects she is doing with Briteschool.

That's great. I spoke to them as well on the phone and have a demonstration in a couple of weeks with the view to starting either May or September if possible. My son is only 10 so although InterHigh looked quite good they only start at Key stage 3. And also I really liked what the headteacher at Briteschool had to say.

Can you update on how your children are getting on with Briteschool? I'm taking my daughter out of her school and am considering Briteschool as an aid to home ed. is it working and are you happy with your children's progress?

Thanks
