Home education

You can educate your child at home.  As a parent/carer it is your responsibility to make arrangements for the education of your child either at school or "otherwise".  Education "otherwise" includes being taught at home by a parent or private tutor.

You must provide an education that is efficient, full-time and suitable for your child's age and ability, taking into account any special needs that your child may have.

For more information please call: (01273) 293431, complete an online form or view or download the leaflet Elective Home Education Parent leaflet [pdf].

If you are currently home educating and have any comments on our elective home education procedures and policy please send your views to eotas@brighton-hove.gov.uk.  We would be pleased to hear them.

Please note: Brighton & Hove City Council is unable to provide finance for people who educate their children other than at school

If you require information about education during an illness please visit our home tuition page.
