How many hours is that, then?

You know what a normal week looks like. This turns it into a figure for the year — the sort of thing a council asks for and nobody has to hand.

A school year is about 39. A term is about 13.

Holidays, illness, the week everything fell apart.

Where the hours went

  • Structured work at home390 h
  • Reading and project work195 h
  • Trips, groups and clubs117 h

These are estimates, and that’s fine

There is no official number of hours for home education in England, and a council cannot hold you to one. This multiplies out what you told it, so an approximate week gives an approximate year — say so if you use it.
