Admissions Process

Green Oak home education groups.

All applicants are required to complete the admissions process prior to joining.

Home Education

We are dedicated to nurturing the minds of home-educated children through our Green Oak Home Ed Waldorf-inspired curriculum. Our part-time program offers up to 16.5 hours of structured tuition each week, providing essential support to parents as they design their home education timetable.

While our tuition is designed to enrich your child’s learning experience, it is important to note that Green Oak Home Ed is not intended to fulfill the entirety of a child's educational needs.

Please note as we are not a school we can NOT be named in any EHCP but we DO accept EOTAS.

Application

We suggest that you first visit our provision by attending one of our Open Tour Mornings. You will have the opportunity to see the groups in action and ask any questions you may have.

We then invite you to apply for a place for your child(ren) by completing our Online Application Form

Your child will then be offered a paid week trial to see if our provision is suitable, (trial cancellations will incur £100.00 cancellation fee)

The acceptance of an application is determined by the provision being able to tutor and develop the prospective student to the best of their potential. We reserve the right to decline to offer a place on grounds of the provision not having the resources to meet the child's needs. You will be notified of this decision within two working weeks of the trial.

Upon completing the registration process, you will be charged a £100.00 non returnable registration fee, all subsequent termly payments are to be made full and in advance, Failure to do so may result in late payment fees and your child losing their place in the group.

We require half a terms notice to withdraw your child from our setting.
