Are you new to home ed? Looking for textbooks/workbooks/online? I can tell you what we used but there is masses of choice out there.
We used Mathletics for maths, there are printable workbooks as well as the onside. However we did find loads of errors with the formatting on the printouts this year (we've used it for 3 or 4 years happily) so we are stopping now.
English we used Galore Park So You Really Want to Learn English. We read the books featured in each chapter. Also did some stuff on Shakespeare as a group with friends using resources from the Globe website.
Science we used Activate from OUP, supplemented by Bitesize clips and hands on experiments from head, Google and pinterest.
History we used the series written by Andrew Wilkes for OUP, with lots of documentaries and trips and historical fiction.

Oops pressed post too soon.

Geography we used Geog1 from OUP
We also combined history and geography into a project on America that I put together myself from various resources.
Computer Science we did via LearnTec
Art we did socially via groups, casually drawing when felt like it and there were loads of brilliant exhibitions this year so we bought an Art Pass and really got money's worth.
PE - walks, geocaching, lots of playing tag, parks and wrestling with friends.
Citizenship/Philosophy/PSHE we did as a group and used loads of different stuff.

itsstillgood thank you so much for the response. Yes we are new to home ed. I have a very bright 11 year old with mental health issues that have resulted in school refusal. The formal school setting contributed greatly to ill health and we are ready to find another path.

Incidentally the Science Museum has a fantastic ‘Wonderlab’ exhibition on at the moment, well worth a visit.

I will take a look at the resources that you have suggested. Thank you again.
