Mt friend did with her 14 year old DD, but she has autism diagnosed a little while later. This was not known prior to her mum taking her out of school.

So sorry this is happening OP

Ive seen lots of posters recently on here taking their children out of school for tue same reasons. Unfortunately school has become a difficult place for many children today.

I took mine out at Y1 and Y4. Not for the same reasons as you as such but some overlap. We’ve never looked back. Home ed has been the making of my DC.

What are you thinking of doing? Moving schools or home education? Are school being supportive?

Hello firsttime I have three girls 6-14 I started homeschool my eldest when she was ten,only due to bullying here in the UK with had something like family Friday caught them in the cloakroom hitting her they noticed me stopped,went though the normal routine of saying something to the headteacher nothing came about it until we decide we would take her out,as it kept happening.

We got In touch with the education team at the offsted they help us with the process of home schooling we have our own home school officer that send you the curriculum of what the children should be doing at the age and grades that it, in our situation we have all our children at different age groups so they are not all doing the same level work we do math English as their main subject as you need them for any college or uni but we also let them learn everyday things like cooking for math getting them to work out how much shopping going to cost when we get to the till playing outside in the local woods we have decide they are not on a main timetable they learn the same as what children do in school just in different way not sat staring at whiteboard,we try to do it in fun ways as one on one I found my kids responded better then in group,the only thing we do struggle on is that I have 14 year old she does not have many friends so the social side for her I found hard but she says to me she likes it don't want that side of it as my other two are together as their ages are bit more closer together,out of school groups are good found since covid price have become more expensive.

Good things about it
You have control of what you teach when you do it
One to one
Have more time to go out enjoy your day.
Cheaper holiday as you don't have to go in the school holidays.

Some bad things we have come cross

No funding for home education own money but not all bad really
Social side can be challenging not enough information out there for local groups like other family that choose home ed you have to know person who knows person.

But I hope this helps.
