Who's behind this

My own connection to this is close to home: my two grandchildren, aged 8 and 10, are home educated by my daughter. Watching how much care she puts into it — with none of the staffroom, the colleagues, or the ready-made curriculum a school hands a teacher — is exactly why CalmHomeEd exists.

Everything here is checked against the real UK National Curriculum and genuine UK guidance, not generic advice written for a different country's school system.

What CalmHomeEd makes

A few different kinds of help, each for a different moment in the home education journey — starting out, planning gently, checking progress without pressure, and looking after the parent doing the work.

Calm Start
For families just beginning — the free First Fortnight Checklist lives here.
Calm Check
"Am I Behind?" — plain-English, year-by-year checklists for Years 1–6.
Calm Plan
Gentle, undated planning resources — coming soon.
Calm Parent
Support for the person doing the educating — not just the child being educated.
