01
Organised
Families choose home education for the freedom, then drown in the admin. The plan, the diary and the money deserve one calm home — so the freedom survives contact with a Tuesday.
About AltEd
Making alternative education organised, accountable and connected
Home education in the UK has roughly doubled since 2020 — and the tools haven't kept up. AltEd is our answer: one portal where families plan and record the learning, and the tutors and providers they work with share the same page.
- UK-first
- No advertising
- Built in the open
What we're for
Three words we're trying to earn
02
Accountable
The UK's Children's Wellbeing and Schools Act 2026 means every home-educating family will need to show organised records. A record that writes itself as the weeks pass beats a scramble every review.
03
Connected
Tutors and families work best as partners, not counterparties. Shared sessions, shared records and a shared ledger take the friction — and the awkward money chat — out of the relationship.
Where we are
Where we are, honestly
No invented customer counts. No glowing reviews we wrote ourselves.
AltEd is early. We're a small team rebuilding the portal in the open: the sign-in experience, the billing ledger with card payments and this public site are live, and the role-based dashboards are being ported over feature by feature — the changelog shows exactly what's landed.
We won't pretend otherwise with invented customer counts or glowing reviews — the quotes on our pages are labelled as illustrative until real families and tutors say it better than we can. What we can promise: UK-first design (GBP, UK English, local-authority framing), no advertising, no selling of data, and provider pricing that is never a percentage of your revenue.
If that sounds like a portal you'd want to exist, the best way to help is to use it and tell us what's wrong with it — we read everything.
“Build the thing home-educating families would build for themselves if they had a spare decade.”
