    I taught my youngest daughter at home ( she is 22 now ) I found the primary school where her siblings attended to be VERY helpful and understanding.

    We home tutor our 10 year old daughter...took her out of school in Sept last year! It is absolutely fantastic! A good way to start is to see if there is a home ed group in your area as they are good for advice & also for the kids to socialise with. In my area there are about 80 - 90 families home edding so a good large crowd for advice & support. Feel free to PM me for more info and most of all good luck & have fun!!

    Hi there

    I also taken my 14 year old son out of school in DEC 2008 we done this by writing using a re-register letter, he has special needs, Aspergers syndrome, anxiety disorder and complexed issues, its a long story, but in short then, its to do with bullying, he would come home from school covered in fresh bruises and so on, we even got the police involved and he had to be checked out by his GP, all this now on record, despite all this the school resolved nothing.

    We currently have my uncle tutoring him, he is a retired teacher and uni lecturer but due to stop all this soon as well, as he is getting on, we are not sure if we can get any funding for him but any info in regards of home education will be a great help, cheers so much.;)

    We live in South Wales.

    Hi mate. I am really sorry about your problem. Living in South Wales can be no fun at all and I really don't know how to advise you.!:p

    That was a joke by the way - hope you don't take offence.

    Seriously, the resident expert has not appeared tonight, but Pipkin will appear shortly (I have no doubt). Other posters' links are a start.

    Hi there

    I am also asking advice in regards of home education funding wise, as my son has been home educated since DEC 2008, we are lucky at this present time due to having an uncle who is a tutor who helps out free of charge, not everyday though, but soon he will no longer be able to do this.

    I try to help out in between but looking now into funding if any, my hubby lost his job due to masses of job losses and I am a full time carer for my son.

    I will state though, that to take the child out of school, always use the correct procedures of doing this, by sending in a de-register letter, you will find these on the link the poster posted above on education otherwise.

    Good luck with this.;)
