Comment on Is home ed worth considering? by antonia

as you said, the internet makes HE so much easier not only because of the educational information avaliable online, but also because of the HE community and support avaliable online.

Hi,
there is a Yahoo group for home educating parents who are looking for ideas for sitting exams.

It depends where you live.
I contacted A3 tutors-but I can’t seem to find their website now. My dd had to go to Bristol to sit IGCSE maths.
Contact your local HE group and see if they have any ideas.
Also-although I doubt this will get you anywhere – you could ask the EWO if you have a good one.
Contact your nearest independent school to ask if they would take an external candidate.

Considering we live in a big city it was ridiculously hard to get any info or a sensible place to sit exams. It’s why we have not done any more.

Good luck in your hunt.

Im home schooling my daughter now because of illness and personal reasons. I just wanted to know where could she sit for her G.C.S.Es she has already prepared for her exam and is ready. Could anyone please give me some ideas please?

If you look in the background of this photo you will see a tall radio tower with a ball near the top. This was nicknamed the Pope’s Revenge, because when the sun shone on it a cross was seen in the ball

Thought you might like that useless piece of trivia from someone who used to live there.

Off topic, but based on the comment that you left on my blog regarding Bishops, I can’t help thinking paragraph 2372 of the Catechism could be your best friend, if indeed this is the topic about which you are becoming cynical….
