Hi :-) My 15 year old daughter has been homeschooled since 2015 and will be sitting her GCSE examinations as an external candidate this summer. I have started a government petition to ask parliament to consider the introduction of funding to help families who homeschool their children pay for their GCSE examinations. The decision to home-school is not taken lightly by any family and is made for many different reasons. The decision is not always through choice but can be through necessity to ensure the happiness and wellbeing of their child and later struggle to find the funds to pay for the GCSE examinations. I have already paid my daughters GCSE fee's but feel very passionately about this and would love to help future homeschooling families. If you would like to sign my petition please read below:

My petition:
Introduce funding to help families of home-schooled children pay for GCSE exams
The decision to homeschool is not taken lightly and is made for many reasons; ultimately to ensure the happiness/wellbeing of a child. The cost of teaching at home is accepted and managed, however many families find it difficult to pay the high fees for GCSE’s that are free in our state schools.
