Not Back to School picnic in Swindon

Home Educating families in Swindon are holding a 'Not Back to School' bubble blowing picnic. This is a national event and across the country picnics are being organised for families to meet with old friends and make new ones, dispelling the myth that home educated children do not get a chance to socialise and that home-educated children are not 'hidden'. It will send a message to the government to object about suggested restrictions on home education. This will also be a chance for families new to home education to find out about the many activities that run in the county and about home-education in general.

Hundreds of children in the county are educated 'otherwise than at school' be it in a structured school at home setting, or a more 'free-range' autonomous approach.

The gatherings also are hoping to show that Home Educating families are part of the wider community, we would welcome anybody wishing to find out more about Home Education to come along and join in the fun.

The picnic will take place on 15th September
Queens Park 11.00 - 3pm.
All welcome.
