Elective home education (EHE)

Elective home education (EHE) is a term used to describe educating your child at home. In this case, you are responsible for your child’s education. This is different to EOTAS, which is provided by us.  

If you make the choice to home educate your child, it is your responsibility to fund and organise your chosen home education programme.  You will not receive any help from us towards: 

  • exam costs
  • tutor support
  • workbooks and subscriptions 

It is entirely your responsibility to fund and organise your chosen home education programme. 

We are responsible for making sure your child receives a suitable education, even if you choose EHE. To help with this, you should register your child with the council as being EHE. You only need our permission to educate your child at home if your child has an EHCP and attends a special school

You can learn more information and register your child for EHE on the main Hounslow Council website
