What makes Apricot’s online homeschool successful for you and your children?

The quickest way to get started is to ring us on 01242 604985. We will talk you through the process and set up a short student induction. You can also download a referral form here and send it in to info@apricotlearningonline.co.uk. We can’t wait to start this adventure with you.

Not in England or Wales, according to the Department for Education. Whether your child currently attends a private or state school, you simply need to write to your child’s head teacher to let them know you are withdrawing your child’s name from the register and they will let the local authority know.In Scotland and Northern Ireland, you need permission from your local authority, although this can’t be unreasonably withheld.

You will need a computer, headset, and the internet. No printer is required, as we provide all learning resources to you online.

Exam years: If your child is on role at a school, then you should ensure that the school registers them to sit exams onsite. If your child is not on role at a school, then you should register them privately through your LA or Council. Non-exam years: We are not an exam centre and until final advice is forthcoming from the government, every school has their own requirements for teacher grading and evidence. Some examples are: letters from teachers, proof of QTS status (Qualified Teacher Status), course numbers, random evidence of student work and grades, some form of assessment (defined by the individual schools). Rest assured that whatever the requirements, Apricot has always been able to satisfy schools with what they need. We will continue to do so.
