What is flexischooling?
Flexischooling is a blended approach to education where a child remains enrolled at school but attends part-time, with the rest of their learning taking place at home. It is not an automatic right in England and must be agreed with the school, typically the headteacher, on a case-by-case basis. Families often consider it to create a more flexible, personalised routine, support children with additional needs, or reduce pressure from a full-time timetable while maintaining school connections. In practice, flexischooling can take many forms, such as splitting days between home and school or dividing subjects across both settings.
