SCHOOL  IS  NOT  COMPULSORY. 
​
           Welcome to FLAGS Home Education Group.       

Thousands of children in the UK receive an education without attending school.
This is often known as 'home-education' or 'home-schooling.' 

Home-education is not 'school at home' (unless you want it to be.) 
You don't have to follow the National Curriculum, have time-tables or
​lesson plans (but you can if you wish.)
You can choose an approach to learning that best suits your own child.

For more about home education we would suggest 'Education Otherwise' and 'Educational Freedom. ' and this article by a local home educating parent :
'Beyond the classroom walls - home education in Exeter.'
You are also welcome to contact us with any queries about home education.

There is a large community of home-educating families in Devon, and a number of home-education groups in and around Exeter offering various activities and opportunities to get together for socialising and mutual support.

Our group meets every Friday (term time)  at a lovely venue set in a beautiful park in Exeter. 
We are always open to new members and welcome children of all ages from tots to teens. 
Whether you are currently home-educating or considering home-education you would be welcome to come along.
