Every half term parents should be allowed to opt out of the school register.
school work so that it remains to be from the national curriculum to be sent home for the children regularly checked upon by school staff.
Children who don’t engage with home learning should swiftly be expected to return to school.
The opt out system despite not being on the school register allows parents to keep their school place without the need or deregistering or face fines

Having school education, opt out education and home education allows our children to thrive and for parents to have a choice of their education and health especially during this worrying time
