Home Education
FLU SEASON 2025 - information about NHS immunisation for EHE children can be found here
In England, the law states that the responsibility for a child's education while they are of compulsory school age (currently 5-16 years) rests with their parents.
While most children attend the local state school, a significant number will be educated outside the state system in private schools or at home.
If you are considering Elective Home Education for your child, and would like to talk to someone about this, please call 01452 427622 to speak to one of our Parent Advisers. You may also email them on parentadvisers@gloucestershire.gov.uk.
In April 2019 the Department for Education produced revised guidance for local authorities and parents. Gloucestershire's response to the new guidance can be viewed at the link below.
