Apologies if this has already been discussed, but does anyone who has decided to keep their yr7/8 dc at home, have any suggestions as to good online English and Maths courses/resources? Many thanks.

BBC Bitesize has some good resources, as does Oak National Academy, who seem to largely follow the same lessons ds was doing in school.

Send the kid to school.

Have you de- registered them? The home education board maybe a good place to start. I find Twinkl really useful but by oldest has just finished reception.

If you aren't sending your kids back to school then you should have sorted out the plans for their education well before now.

To be honest as much as it pains me to say it as a teacher.... Twinkl is really good now. Ugh that hurt to admit that!!!

They now do actual schemes of work that you can follow and stuff so... It would definitely be worth paying for that.

I'm not a fan of oak academy to be honest. It serves it purpose but i wasn't overly keen.

white rose maths is ok - you could follow that - it does daily maths lessons and follows a scheme of work. I have seen it used really badly in one school I taught in - because they would blithly follow every days lesson, did no planning of their own, and then didn't ever go back when children didn't understand something. So you'd get to the end of the week and the kids were just lost. I don't think for one second you'd do that at home, but if you use it to teach each initial lesson, and then make sure that your DC understand each one properly before moving on, it is a good resource to have.

Oh OP I'm sorry - I read that your children were 7 and 8, as in primary age. Now I realise that you've said year 7 and 8. Apologies for that as it's only primary age.

Depending on how much schooling has been missed though, as is the case for everyone at the moment, it could be usefully to make sure that your year 7 child understands eveyrthing from year 6. But that was my bad for not reading properly!
