Once you start looking at schools, beyond state education, all sorts of names start popping up. You’ll see names such as Montessori, Steiner, faith, independent, free-schools, the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, etc. What’s more, over the past three years, the popularity of homeschooling has soared by 40% (according to a report by the BBC), allowing parents to create their own curriculum on a full or part-time basis. You can even get help with home education from your local council.
