I'M READY TO START HOME-SCHOOLING
What Now?
Here is a friendly, practical guide for parents of children under 12 who are ready to start home educating and want to do it “right.”
Are You Excitied To Take The Leap?
If you're ready to join over 126,000 children in the home education space in the UK — and countless more around the world — then you're likely wondering where to start.
Homeschooling isn’t just about leaving school—it’s about finding the best way to educate your child in a way that works for your family.
HOME-SCHOOLING MADE EASY
3 Packs for the price of 1
50+ templates and checklists
Why you need this
To be completely honest — you don’t need this Starter Pack at all.
When I started homeschooling over seven years ago, I didn’t have any of these tools. I figured it out as I went.
But I also second-guessed myself constantly.
I wasted time searching for answers.
I lost sleep wondering if I was doing it right.
And worst of all? I lived with that nagging feeling that I’d missed something important.
(You know the one — like when you leave the house and can’t remember if you've locked the door.)
So, no — you don’t need this pack if you’re okay starting your homeschooling journey with doubt, worry and guesswork. Afterall, that's how many homeschooling parents start out.
But if you want to feel calm, confident and prepared — like you actually know what you’re doing — then this Starter Pack was made for you, and I wish I'd had it when I started.
So whether you’ve already made the decision or are still figuring things out, homeschooling can feel like a big leap. That’s why I created this beautifully designed, practical pack — to help you begin with clarity, confidence and a deep exhale.
As a qualified teacher with 30 years of classroom experience —and having had to homeschool my daughter for more than 7 years as she is a school refuser, I've put this pack together for you using both my planning experience as a teacher and everything I wished I had when I first started home-educating.
So now you don’t have to figure it all out yourself the hard way, by trial and error.
The Homeschooling Starter Pack is a practical, parent-friendly toolkit designed to guide you through your first steps with clarity and ease.
It’s split into three easy-to-use packs, so you can get exactly what you need — when you need it. Pack 1 & Pack 2: The Essentials and BONUS: Pack 3 — so that you can Feel Like a Real Teacher at Home.

Why Parents Love It
I did a lot of research before I started home-schooling, or thought I did, but got this pack to be sure. I'm glad I did, becuase I didn't know half the things covered in this. Feel very confident now.
Jon
Dad of 7 year old
This has really helped - I'm a lot more relaxed about home-schooling. I understand that it is so much easier than I originally thought it was. The templates are amazing.
Aby
Mum of 4‑year‑old
I was very worried about home-schooling, thinking about all the work I would have to do and if I'd be able to juggle it with my work, but the templates helped me organise all the work and cheat sheets showed me homeschooling is not the same as school and I feel more relaxed now. Really glad I got this.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Who is this Starter Pack for?
This pack is perfect for parents who are either considering home education or have recently decided to start. Whether you’re still researching or already deregistered, it offers step-by-step support to help you begin with confidence.
2. Do I need to follow a specific curriculum to use this pack?
Nope! The Starter Pack is curriculum-neutral. It supports a wide range of approaches, from structured to child-led learning. You’ll also find a guide that explains different curriculum styles so you can choose what suits your family best — or create your own path.
3. Is this just for UK homeschoolers?
While the pack includes UK-specific guidance (like how to deregister), the majority of tools — planners, reflection sheets, learning ideas, and mindset support — are suitable for homeschoolers anywhere in the world.
4. What format does the Starter Pack come in?
The pack is delivered as a printable digital download (PDF). You can print the whole thing or just the pages you need — and use them again and again.
5. Can I buy the packs separately?
No! The Starter Pack is available in 3 parts (Pack 1, 2 & Bonus Pack 3). But they are linked - they are only separated as some of the forms are landscape, while others in partrait format.
6. Is this suitable for homeschooling multiple children?
Absolutely. Many templates (like the learning goals, activity trackers, and reflection pages) can be used with more than one child. Just print as many copies as you need.
7. What if I don’t know where to start with planning?
It depends on your local laws. Nevertheless the pack includes an optional Annual Report Template and progress tracking sheets to help you stay organised — so if your local authority should request updates on your child's progress or the laws change, then you are already prepared.
8. Can I get support if I have questions after purchase?
Absolutely! Sign up to the Parent-Teacher Support Group for free and we'll be happy to support you on your homeschooling journey.
