Homeschooling

The council says 822 children were registered as being educated at home in October 2025.

A council report reveals many of those being educated at home have special educational needs.

A government Bill will introduce safeguarding checks, but some parents fear children could suffer.

The number of children being taken out of school is double what it was four years ago.

One mum says her daughter feels much more confident since she started being educated at home.

Kimberley Vallis chose to home-school her son because "his needs weren't met" in mainstream education.

Eight-year-old Henry, who has autism and ADHD, was left without schooling for more than two years.

It is aimed at making it easier for Cornwall's 2,500 home-schooled children to take their GCSEs.
