Planning your home education just got a whole lot easier.
Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been home educating for years, keeping track of curriculum, progress, LA correspondence, outings, reading, clubs and everything else in between can quickly become overwhelming. This planner brings it all together in one beautifully simple, A4 document — designed specifically for UK home educating families.
Every page is clean, minimal and printer-friendly. The undated weekly, monthly and daily pages can be reprinted as many times as you need across the year. Pages marked for individual children can be printed once per child — so whether you have one child or five, this planner works for your family.

💬 A note from the seller
This planner was created by a home educating parent who couldn’t find a UK-specific planner that actually covered everything — from the joy of tracking a child’s reading journey to the less glamorous but important job of logging LA correspondence. I hope it makes your year feel a little more organised and a lot less daunting.
