The biggest group of home-educated children is in the last three years of compulsory education. There are some 40,000 children in that grouping, with much fewer at younger ages. This is therefore a really important issue. It is important for all of us, because we want children in our country to succeed in getting GCSEs in maths and English. Those subjects are the passport to further education as well as to most employment. These are important issues that we are talking about, and it will make a lot of difference to people’s lives.
