Look out for drop-in sessions

We hold drop-in sessions throughout the year for parents that are home educating. You'll have an opportunity to meet the EHE Consultant to find out about local educational resources, Suffolk’s approach to EHE or to simply discuss any questions you have. Your children are welcome to attend with you. Upcoming dates will be added to this page once they have been arranged.
