Home Education should be publically known and considered as a valid alternative way of educating children. Parents should have government and general public support including free access to standard national exams and resources should be freely accessible if required. Parents are best placed to know and choose the way their children should be educated. More recognition and support should be available to parents concerning home education while at the same time parents should be free from interference from government officials. Thus, leading up to the next election, this matter should be on the education agenda and taken seriously as there are an ever increasing number of families home educating.

    • In my experience, and I speak as a former headteacher, home-schooling works extremely well in very many ways.

    • Home schooling is legal and an awful lot cheaper than providing a place in a local authority school
