Please send us your videos, stories, poems or posters – we’ll collate these and make sure the voices of home educated young people and their families are heard as part of the government's curriculum and assessment review.

Please take action – as people who have left mainstream education altogether it is crucial that our voices are heard – the system is not working for all children, we are the best evidence of that!

You can submit your own evidence directly to the DfE:

The government say they are listening to people most affected by school policy – that also means home educators!

Your voices are crucial in ensuring that the government hears from ALL sectors, not just those who are still in the system.

Please send us your videos, stories, poems or posters – we’ll collate these and make sure the voices of home educated young people and their families are heard. (We can keep these anonymous if you'd prefer.)

That means home educating parents too :)

Calling all parents! We need your help to shape the future of education. We want to hear your experiences and opinions of what is taught in our schools and how testing and assessment is done.

All parents of 5 to 19 year-olds, whatever stage their children are at currently, and in fact anybody else with a view on education in England is welcome to fill in the online survey below, or email a form back to our review panel.

The panel would love to read your thoughts and views as they will be using them to help form their initial recommendations for a new school curriculum. Their initial report will be published next year.
