A Statement on Flexi-Schooling 

The parent or carer is responsible for ensuring their child receives full-time education at statutory school age. Where a parent or carer educates a child partly at school and partly at home or elsewhere as an expression of parental preference, this is called Flexi-schooling. 

Flexi-schooling must not be confused with elective home education (EHE). Parents and carers have a legal right to choose to home-educate their child, but they do not have a legal right to insist on a flexi-schooling arrangement with a school. The discretion to allow Flexi-schooling rests with the Headteacher.

The River Learning Trust considers that a school is best placed to deliver the complex demands of the National Curriculum. Therefore, Headteachers within our Trust will not support requests for Flexi-Schooling arrangements.
