For families educating children aged 6 to 16 at home

You’re home educating.
We make sure it’s working.

You teach. We set the direction, review the evidence, and tell you honestly where you stand.

Every enquiry is answered personally by the Education Director within one working day.

Week 3

Years 4 to 5 level

This week

  • Maths. Fractions of amounts, pages 42 to 44
  • Reading. Chapter 6, then two questions
  • Science. Dissolving: salt, sugar, sand. Predict first.
  • Writing. Diary entry, one paragraph, past tense

From the Director

Reading is ahead, so stretch the questions. Keep maths short and daily. Skip the writing if Friday is heavy; we’ll pick it up next week.

The Friday feeling

Most home educating parents are carrying three things at once.

None of them is a failing. They are what happens when one person is asked to be the teacher, the head, and the inspector at the same time.

01

No plan

You have books, printables and a dozen browser tabs open. What you don't have is a week you can sit down and follow on Monday morning.

02

No benchmark

Is your child where they should be? Ahead? Behind? Nobody has told you, and it isn't obvious who you would even ask.

03

No one to ask

The 9pm question. Am I doing enough. Am I doing it wrong. You've asked a forum. What you wanted was an answer from someone qualified.

If that sounds familiar, you are the family this was built for.

Why the plan is individual

Every child is different. The plan should be too.

Children learn at different rates, and at different rates in different subjects. A nine-year-old can be two years ahead in maths and at age level in reading. The year group printed on a curriculum tells you very little about the child in front of you.

So we don’t start with a curriculum. We start with your child, and build an individual learning plan around where they are and how they learn. Then we keep adjusting it.

  1. 1

    Baseline first

    Before anything is planned, we find out where your child actually is. Reading, maths fluency, and a conversation with you about how they learn.

  2. 2

    Built for the child, not the year group

    The plan is written for your child. Faster where they are ready, slower where they need it, subject by subject.

  3. 3

    Adjusted on evidence

    What you log each week tells us what landed. The plan changes as the child changes. That is the point of it.

The mechanics

How it works

The full picture
  1. 1

    Baseline

    A light-touch look at where your child is now, and a conversation with you.

  2. 2

    Programme

    An individual learning plan, delivered in weekly instalments. What to cover, what to use, how to know it landed.

  3. 3

    Your week

    You teach. Between thirty minutes and a couple of hours a day, depending on age. You log what you did as you go.

  4. 4

    Review

    The Education Director reviews the evidence, tells you what is working, and adjusts the plan.

Your record

A record of what you've done.

Everything you log becomes a continuous record of your child’s provision. What was covered, the work they produced, what landed and what didn’t.

It is your record. It sits under your control, it is shared at your discretion, and it can be exported or deleted whenever you ask.

There is currently no legal requirement in England to keep records of home education. Many families keep one anyway, because it is the quickest way to answer the question “what have we actually done?”

Record

Week 3 of 15

This week’s evidence

  • TueMaths. Fractions of amounts. Method secure; slow on 3/8 of 56. Two photos of the working.
  • WedScience. Dissolving. Predicted sand would dissolve, then asked about hot water. Trying it tomorrow.
  • ThuReading. Chapter 6 in one sitting. Retold it in order without prompting.

Director’s review, Friday

Reading has moved on. Next week’s plan stretches the questions and keeps maths short and daily.

Illustrative. Your child’s record is yours to export or delete at any time.

Fit

Who this is for

  • You took your child out of school in the last year or so, and you are still working out what a good week looks like.
  • School wasn't working. Anxiety, refusal, needs that weren't being met. Home is the option you have, not the one you planned.
  • You want structure and rigour for your child, without a school. You are prepared to do the teaching if someone sets the direction.

And not

Who this is not for

If you are home educating autonomously, following your child’s interests without a set programme, this isn’t for you and we won’t pretend otherwise. We set direction. That is the service.

The Education Director

Zaehid Hakim

Zaehid home educates his own children. He knows what it is to look at a week of work on a Friday and wonder whether it was enough.

He has also spent twenty years in two regulated professions, optometry and pharmacy, where you are held to an evidenced standard. That is the discipline he brings to overseeing a child’s education. He does not hold Qualified Teacher Status, and he will tell you plainly why the oversight model does not need it.

One step, no obligation

Arrange your child's review

Tell us about your child and what your week looks like. The Education Director will reply personally, with an honest view of where you stand and what would help.
