[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It wouldn't be traditional and ideally you'd need a SAHP, but have you considered homeschooling for the one year? You could do a bunch of history and literature and enroll in one of the on-line learning curriculum for math, etc.[/quote]

There are very strict laws about homeschooling in the UK. You have to present all your materials (curriculum) and it has to match up with national standards, and get approved. Then they can come and "inspect" you at short notice to see how its working and they can, if they think you're not doing a good enough job of it, force you to put your child in an actual school.

So if you do want to try this route, be sure to investigate it fully. Its not like in the US where you sign up online to say you're doing homeschooling and - whoosh, you're done.[/quote]

This is just not true. In fact, if you were to move to London and homeschool you would never be know to the local authority at all. It's pretty easy. [/quote]
