Hello,
So looking for a little help with deciding how best to support my son.
He is currently in Year 7 and has had a series of serious safeguarding incidents at school, all of which he wasn’t the intended target but has unfortunately been a victim of. Due to safeguarding concerns we have deregistered him and found ourselves in the world of home education.
We are considering the option of attending another school, however other schools in the area are full in his year group.
I am currently teaching his maths, we are getting through Science with the help of bite size and some Collins books, Oak academy for English and then still doing some French and lots of running! 😅 Which is fine until the end of this academic year. But would like something more substantial from September.
I have looked at Wolsley, Kings and Queens for potential options from September, but have the consideration of finances. Although Kings/Queens I assume would be the nearest and smoothest transition if a place at mainstream came up and he wanted to go back to attending a school.
I then had a little look at Seneca and tassomai apps, but wonder how easily students access this way of learning when they are used to being in a classroom setting.
I also looked at MyEdSpace, which for the core subjects would be great for him as have the option of live/recorded lessons and also feedback on his work. But then I would still like him to be able to access a wider range of learning too!
To be honest I just feel a bit bamboozled by it all and would really appreciate some input from anyone who is home educating or works in the field!
Thank you!
