Gary Thomas That's brilliant, Helen. Well done and well deserved! Incidentally, do you know of a school in Derbyshire called Hollinsclough Primary, where they are doing some really interesting work on home schooling, acting as a hub for parents who want to home school. I've contacted the HT and we may be able to get some research going on it to be funded by CfBT.
Helen E Lees Thanks Gary! It's interesting indeed to hear about Hollinsclough Primary. Possible research funded by CfBT sounds potentially very influential. Do keep me posted.
Richard Davies Splendid! next stop global domination.....
