Home schooling 🤍 useful resources?

[Chantel3]

Hi All,
This is all very new to me here, I am just a little unsure in regards to getting more resources for home schooling, if anyone knows any websites or recommendations for me please?

I have a 12 year old at home currently. Due to being very unhappy & bullied at her previous school. Unfortunately she didn't feel safe nor did she think the teachers took any of it serious.
Which I couldn't sit back and watch her bring all the worry home and then to let her have to dread going back in to the school were threats were coming her way! Long story short... I raised this and her GP still nothing from the school ATM! It is hard as I work nights & days and have two younger boys haha.

However I am hoping the homeschooling isn't forever, as I am not the brightest spark going! All I can do is try my best and show we do not give up hope!

I have now de registered my daughter until another school comes available, which isn't to far away! Until they have space of course (Year7 is full).😶

In the mean time, I'm buying many books of Amazon prime, using BBC Bitesize .. please any recommendations I am all ears.
Thank you for your time in reading this 😊🙏🏽

Oak Academy has videos and tasks for most subjects for that age. It was initially used during covid. It’ll give you a reasonable idea of the level they should be working at then you can always dip into other year groups if it’s too easy or too hard.

Twinkl has some good bits for maths and reading for ks2 and I think they have ks3 stuff too. You need a subscription but I think they do one specifically for home educators.

Get on Facebook and search for "home education + name of your town" for meet ups

Have you joined HEFA on Facebook? They are amazing re home education. Good luck! I have one out of school too.

If she's deregistered, then what you are doing is home educating, and your obligations in the law are different (if she was still registed to the local authority would be their responsibility and they would be obliged to provide national curriculum material)
What would she like to do? What would help her and rebuild her metal health? Lots of exercise? Crafts? Writing? Gaming? You can show you are providing a suitable education from almost anything and build it around her interests.
Find The Home Education For All fb page, read their guides to make sure you are on top of your legal obligations for this phase and hopefully this will be a posetive experience for both of you.

Join HEFA group home education for all on face book they have a brillant wiki full of lots of information. Free Maths sites try Corbett maths and maths genie. Theatre of science on YouTube is great. And South west sciences.
We took our 12yr bright autistic dd out of mainstream school and do a mix of things as she’s now working towards igcse. For now prioritise mental health but find local connections online groups there’s a massive growing home Ed community. My eldest went through mainstream but we knew our youngest would struggle and she did. Now she’s thriving.
