Everything a home educating family needs
Planning, teaching and record-keeping, without juggling spreadsheets and printouts.
A lesson planner for every child
Plan lessons by child and subject, and see them as a list, a month calendar or a week board. Children of different ages each get their own plan.
A UK starting point
Choose the UK curriculum and Homeschul loads England's National Curriculum core and foundation subjects: maths, English, science, history, geography, computing, art and design, and PE. Change them however you like.
Attendance and grades
Mark each day present, half day or absent, and record scores as you go, so your records build up without extra effort.
Records for your local authority
Print a clean record of attendance, assessments and progress, or create an annual education report with your own words alongside the facts.
AI teaching packs
Turn any topic into slides, a mind map, hand-picked videos, a quiz and a worksheet, pitched to your child's age and reading level. You can edit everything.
Mark a worksheet from a photo
Take a photo of finished work and get it marked, with the result saved to the gradebook. Weekly tests keep revision light.
A portal for your children
Children see today's lessons, collect XP, badges and streaks, and ask Beamy, the friendly AI study buddy, for help.
Support for different learners
Reading help, colour overlays, read-aloud, focus mode and a picture timetable, switched on child by child.
See dyslexia support →Reminders and a weekly summary
A morning email with the day's lessons, and a Sunday summary of what each child did and achieved. Turn either off any time.
See it in action
A two and a half minute walkthrough, from sign-up to lesson planning, the gradebook and your report.

Who it is for
New to home education
A ready-made structure takes away the blank-page worry, and your records start from day one.
Home educating for years
Keep several children organised and stop rebuilding spreadsheets every September.
Supporting additional needs
Adapt lessons and the screen to how your child learns, and keep notes you can share if you choose.
Dealing with your local authority
Have attendance, assessments and a report ready if you are asked for evidence.
Why not just use a printable planner?
Printable planners and spreadsheets are a good way to start, and many families use them happily. They work best when you have the time to fill them in and keep them tidy. Homeschul is for when you want the planning, the teaching materials and the records in one place: attendance and grades add up as you go, and a report can be put together from them rather than written from memory at the end of the year.
What the law says in England
Parents who educate at home must provide an efficient, full-time education suited to their child’s age, ability and aptitude, and any special educational needs (Education Act 1996, section 7). You do not have to follow the National Curriculum. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and can change, so check the government’s elective home education guidance. Need a report now?

Questions from UK home educators
Is this home education planner free?
You can start for free. Free to start. No card required. Keep the Free plan forever.
Does Homeschul follow the National Curriculum?
It gives you a UK starting point based on England's National Curriculum core and foundation subjects. In England you do not have to follow the National Curriculum when you home educate, so you can add, remove and rename subjects to suit your child.
Which year groups does it cover?
Preschool, Reception and Year 1 to Year 13. Each child has their own year group, and you can set a different working level for a subject if they are ahead or behind.
Can I use it for more than one child?
The Free plan covers 1 child. Plus covers unlimited children, with more AI lesson packs.
Will it help me report to my local authority?
Yes. It keeps attendance, grades and what each child has covered, and can print a record or create an annual education report. What you share is up to you. In England there is no legal requirement to send a written report.
Does it work on a phone or tablet?
Yes. Homeschul runs in your web browser on a phone, tablet or computer, with nothing to install.
Is it safe for my children?
Children's accounts are managed by a parent, Beamy has extra safety rules for young learners, and our Children's Data Notice explains what we collect and why.
