Home educating in Colchester, Essex

[Akiva]

Hi there,

We are moving to Colchester at the end of August and are home educating with our 8 year old daughter. We would really love to join a local home ed group in or close to colchester. Currently we live in Hampshire and attend a group and know of other home educators. Any info would be very well recieved.

: )

Hi Akita, Colchester is a brilliant place to HE, unfortunately for us we moved away! I will ask my old facebook friends to PM you, you lucky devil!!

Thats really kind of you thank you very much.

Do you need any details to PM me on facebook?

Hi

I don't home ed, but know Colchester well. And there are a nice group of home edders. There are also lots of classes & activities on offer, too. First site do very good art classes, there's a couple of different cub packs in/close to the town centre, there's forest school, tennis clubs, youth clubs etc. Leisure world offer lots of clubs & the zoo (of course,) is a great. A lot of the parks (high woods, abberton & fingeringhoe,) & the 3 museums do great kids activities too. I think you'll find it a great place to home ed, as there are lots of things on offer, no matter what your dd is interested in. (And no I don't want work for the Colchester tourist board :) )

Hope your happy in your new home

Thank you for all the information I am looking forward to discovering lots of things.

Hi I am home ed my 4 year old son. I am nearby Colchester and know it well. I also visit London a lot individually and with other home edders, we go up at at least once a month. If you'd like to meet for a chat/coffee I'd be more than happy

That sounds like a good idea, we will be moving in August so I shall contact you then,

Thank you : )

will look forward to hearing from you. Good luck with the move

it is a very good idea to have eschools because now present world id on the move of internet online education and Eschools will play a major role in near future

hi, i will be home educating my 4 yr old daughter in Colchester from September (she'll be 5 in October) she has 2 siblings but didn't get into the same school as them and i decided i am not spending half the day running backwards and forwards between 2 school which are 20-30 minutes apart. Any help, advice, groups etc would b a great help :-)

Anyone know of a prom in essex for home educated people or if not would anyone be willing to help to build a prom ?

Does anyone know of a prom in Essex for home educated 16 year olds or if not anyone willing to help build one ?

The best way to find local home ed groups these days is on Facebook. For example, if you type "home education Essex" into the FB search bar you will find a group with 5000 members.

I am sure someone there will be able to tell you definitively whether there is a prom in the works and if not, you can set your own up and publicise it there.
