What is flexi-schooling?
'Flexi-schooling' refers to a combination of school attendance and home education.
It's not the same as:
- Full-time home education
- Reduced timetables (also known as part-time timetables)
Parents should make a request in writing
Parents can teach their children at home, either full-time or part-time. They should write to your headteacher before doing so.
Your headteacher can refuse to allow part-time home education (i.e. flexi-schooling) but must accept requests for full-time home education.
Special schools: parents will need to get permission from the local authority (LA) before they can educate them at home.
Read more about this in government guidance on home education.
