Flexi-Schooling Rowenna Mayfield

Want to take your child to the zoo on a week-day? Want to do it legally? Then try flexi-schooling. Flexi-schooling is a growing movement that enables children to attend school part-time. The rest of the time they are taught from home, although this doesn't necessarily mean sitting around the kitchen table. Flexi-students go on trips out, enjoy sports and music, attend forest schools, and generally get the chance to engage in activities that balance out school and suit them. It's a way of personalising education, of letting your child have more choice. In this book, Rowenna Mayfield draws on her own experiences in flexi-schooling her child. She details the many benefits of this approach, and explains how to liaise with your school and prepare for flexi-schooling at home. She includes many ideas for activities and projects, as well as a year round calendar of activities suitable for young children.
