We will be in contact shortly to offer support and guidance and to undertake a review of the home education that your child is receiving.
PLEASE NOTE:
If your child is currently on the roll of a school, they will not be registered with us as home educated until you have sent the school a dated deregistration email confirming that you are home educating your child and the date that this will start. Please also send a copy of your deregistration email to EHE@barnet.gov.uk Once the school has received your deregistration email they will be able to take your child off the school roll and provide EHE at BELS with the documentation that we require to register a child for home education.
If your child is currently in a mainstream school
Please register below once you have informed your child’s school in writing (deregistration email) that your child will be home educated and the date that this will start. This will enable the school to off roll your child and for us to complete your child’s registration. Please also send a copy of your deregistration email to the school to: EHE@barnet.gov.uk
