The intention of this information is to help families understand what may be involved if they are considering educating their child or children at home. The information, which follows, should clarify the procedures in Bury.
There are a number of questions, which families ask regularly when they are considering educating at home. The following examples are included to assist you in making an informed decision as to whether home education is an appropriate alternative to school for your child or children.
Parents who do decide to home educate usually find it a happy and constructive experience. It is an enormous challenge to undertake. If you decide to take up the challenge, Bury LA will do what it can to try to assist you in ensuring that a good education is provided for your child. Please help us to maintain a good working partnership.
Do remember if at any time you wish your child to re-enter the school system, our Admissions Section will be happy to help you with this.
If you wish to discuss any of the above further do not hesitate in e-mailing us at ehe@bury.gov.uk
