Senior maths challenge + physics olympiad while in home ed

Hi all, my daughter is in year 11 in home school right now and is going on to year 12 (still in home ed) next academic year. She’s keen to take the senior maths challenge and physics olympiad next year but I’m not sure how she can sit it officially as a home educated student. Has anyone done this before and is able to offer advice?

If you Google UK Maths Trust that run the Maths Challenge and the Physics Olympiad you get these - looks as if you need to find a local school that run it and take the test at the school.

Seconding as above. I work at an independent school and we always have a moderately large group for olympiad etc. As part of our "widening access" philosophy we host some children from local comprehensive and occasionally some that are home educated for prep sessions and for the actual paper. It does however depend on how many of our own we have wanting to do it - we would only say yes if we had spare seats in the room we were planning to use, so worth contacting early and being prepared to try more than one school.
