Move to home schooling biggest since Covid

Home education in England makes up the bulk of the figures, with at least 46,711 new council notifications in 2022-2023, up from at least 47,008 in 2020-2021.

The biggest rise in new home education notifications in the devolved nations was in Wales. It saw a 17% rise between the pandemic and the last academic year.

A Welsh Government spokesperson said it recognises the right of parents to home educate, but in most cases school is the best place for them. They added that currently, around 1% of children in Wales are home educated.

In Scotland, there was a 3% rise, although the figures for new notifications were the lowest of all the UK nations.

A spokesperson from the Scottish Government said recognising the impact of the pandemic, it is progressing measures to support pupils in schools.

Northern Ireland saw a 13% drop in new home education notifications. The BBC has approached the education department in Northern Ireland for comment.
