On the edge

If you live on the borders of the county you might be interested to know that: Brighton, South West Surrey, Portsmouth, Southampton, Kent and Tunbridge Wells all have lively and active home ed groups that might be easier for you to travel to.

Have a look here

How many home educated children are there in West Sussex?

Well, the short answer is that no one really knows!

Here is a link to edyourself with a map which suggests anywhere between about 250 and 500.

We think that about 3oo of these children are in our facebook group. If you would like to join please email us using the address on the main blog page.

Oh, you think home educators stay home!

This is what one of the 120 families from our local group is up to this year.

• The Wondering Wanderers
  

We have a blog ring which will give you a flavour for the diversity in the group.


I hope to have reviews of trips and days out to publish on the blog soon.

Welcome to Home Educating in West Sussex

Hi Everyone,

This is the first post on the new HEWS blog. Fed up with the labrynith that facebook has become I hope to use this to:

• Store a diary of regular events
• Hold information about exam centres
• Be a place to share resources where they can be found again.
• To record some standard info for newbies on Local Authority involvment and contact

My ultimate hope is that it be superseeded by a website (preferably before too long) In the meantime we can use this blog so that potential members who do not wish to join facebook can stay in touch and we can advertise to new members. If you would like to write a post about you and your family and your approach or to advertise any tution or similar please leave a comment.
