Hi there

I have just removed my children from their secondary schools and will now be starting to home-school them. They are 12 and 13 years old (years 8 and 9). Could anyone please point me in the right direction of some online websites for free that we could start using for a variety of subjects?

Thank you :)

alex`s teachers at myonlineschooling use u tube videos for stuff eg science experiments, geography, DT......

really good ones ! geography had a hilarious one about old harrys rocks too

Blimey- night it have been a good idea to plan a bit first?

Youtube has lots of educational videos. I have found khan academy to be helpful with secondary school material. Like yourself, I am new to home schooling. I have found facebook home ed support groups useful to find out about local events that you can integrate into the learning schedule. Good luck!

There are various sites like Bitesize, Seneca, YouTube which are good for topping up. Khan Academy we have never really got into as prefer using books to online but it is possibly most comprehensive. Teach It and TES have some free resources.

Lots of paid sites have free trials so make use of those before you spend money.

Charity shops are excellent for picking up CGP books cheap. If you are looking at GCSE level though it is worth doing research into which boards you can sit locally and make sure anything you but is for the current 9-1 specs otherwise they may well be a waste.
