Up and Coming Events for Home Educators in and around West Sussex

Next Week at Flip Out in Chichester-

The next Home Educator Day at Winchester Science Centre is July 7th  No need to pre book just turn up on this date.

June 2017

There is so much happening in West Sussex. An hour from London and easy for the beach. A great place to be a home educator as there are so many of us. More than 250 of us are known to the local authority and there are probably a few more than that. 

We have the Titchfield exam centre nearby on the county border as well as EtudEO, ActivEO and Rackham offering both structured lessons and informal meet ups.

Football Club might be taking a break for Summer but we've Marwell visits, swimming lessons,  Rock Climbing in Crawley, beach days, Nerf Club, and all kinds of other events happening currently posted on our facebook group. If you are organising something in West Sussex for the month of June please post a link in the comments.


Last year we went hunting for truffles and had 3 Japan Days!


In addition to fortnightly rock climbing in Crawley, there's a Forest School in Angmering, organised beach cleans and over the county border Home Educators can jump at Flip Out Portsmouth at a massively discounted rate. There are also upcoming visits to the WWT and other local attractions. Many home educators say there's actually too much to do!

June is one of the most glorious months to live and be a home educator in West Sussex. The weather can be lovely and the schools are not on holiday leaving the beaches and parks relatively empty. The long days mean evening events can appeal to families who find an extra adult handy.


Ultimately I aim to list details of events on either this blog or a similar one and as it will contain addresses and phone numbers you'll need to register your email to see it - there could be a supporting WhatsApp group for last minute changes due to weather etc

I found this old post from 2013 and thought it might be fun to update it - If you want to link to your group or blog please feel free.

If you are considering not sending your child to school or withdrawing an unhappy child from school you might be wondering what home educators locally do all day. So, a few of us got together and put together an A-Z of the clubs, groups and classes that run during weekday term times.
