Norfolk Home Learning
From small beginnings to great success
The words 'read on' point to one of home ed's advantages: it often suits keen readers - like the girl in this picture - and other high-flyers whose wings school would clip. School-stressed teens facing GCSEs are certainly likely to boost their grades if they study privately.
There are lots of options and activities within a mile of Norwich centre. Further afield, there are friendly house groups throughout the county for music, books, art and craft and so much else. The lucky kids aren't stuck at home, they're just not stuck at school! They're free to seize opportunities, from sunbathing on a sunny day to starring in a film (like the two in the photo).
If only I'd given my own three children a home education!
I did home educate my grandchildren, now at uni or beyond. Since then, I've helped dozens of local families to succeed with home education or school. Please feel free to get in touch. I always reply, though to manage workload I prioritise families in East Anglia.
Home Education aka Homeschooling
Home education starts at birth, so if you're a mum you've tried it and you know it works!
Some mums never give school a look-in. They see home education as the natural way to bring children up and give them a happy start in life. However, others are on a rescue mission, with frightful stories of schools mishandling problems like anxiety and bullying and youngsters too scared to attend.
Many complain that schools neglect talents and special needs and just grade kids like eggs. I know how they feel! Decades ago, I quit as a teacher after seeing what the system did to Steven, my classroom clown. It set me free to write my books, give my lectures and start Norfolk Home Learning, through which I offer
