Guidance on home education:

Flexi schooling

The first stages of applying for a flexi-schooling arrangement will involve a discussion with the head teacher. If they feel it is a feasible option, then they will agree to submit the application form to the education decision-making panel.

The education decision-making panel will hold responsibility for making the final decision.
