About Me: Hi! I’m Jax…

I’ve been involved with home education for over 20 years and the most important thing I’ve learned is that you’ve got to do what’s right for you and your family.

I’ve home educated 4 different neurodivergent children, and each has needed a different approach – there’s no one size fits all, even within one family.

I prefer to say home education rather than homeschooling because you don’t need to do school at home, follow a curriculum or teach lessons. Think of yourself as a coach or facilitator, it’ll help!

My Vision for Home Education in The UK

I believe home education is a realistic alternative many families and children.

I know home education isn’t lesser – it’s just different. And the sooner society takes that on board the better.

I believe home education is life-changing and sometimes life-saving for many children failed by the school system.

I’m sharing my Home Education experience with you so that you can get a headstart!

Over the years I’ve found that you don’t need to buy all the stuff. (Except books. Books are good.)

There’s always a way, it might not look like you expect.

Your children can take the lead – help them to help you!

Where it all started 20+ years ago: our Home Ed journey

I discovered home education as an option while training as a teacher. I was always interested in it, even before I had children.

Once I’d persuaded my family it was legal (you’d be amazed how many people don’t know) I searched for community and found other people with young children home educating from the start.

We’ve taken lots of approaches through the years, but the main idea is to give the child the time and space to find their interests, then facilitate that, and hang on – it can be an exciting ride!

Early Years Home Education (Ages 0-5)

The magic of early learning happens through play, exploration, and following your child’s natural curiosity. These formative years are about creating rich environments where learning flows naturally through everyday adventures – no formal lessons required, just lots of wonder and discovery together.


Primary Years Home Education (Ages 6-11)

Primary years bring the perfect balance of hands-on exploration and gentle structure. This is when children’s natural curiosity flourishes through exciting projects, real-world adventures, and discovering that learning can be joyful. We focus on building confidence alongside skills, always following their interests and enthusiasm.


Secondary Years Home Education (Ages 12-18)

The secondary years mark an exciting shift towards independence and deeper learning. Teenagers thrive when given ownership of their education journey, whether pursuing exam routes, exploring passion projects, or preparing for life beyond home ed. It’s about mentoring rather than directing, supporting their growing autonomy while staying connected to their goals.


Kentwell Hall Tudor Recreation Adventures

For over 15 years, our family has immersed ourselves in living Tudor history at Kentwell Hall’s extraordinary recreations. These aren’t just visits – they’re transformative learning experiences where children don’t just study history, they live it. From churning butter in period costume to speaking Tudor English, these adventures have shaped our understanding of bringing learning to vivid life.
