Homeschooling: 60% rise in children taught at home over two years

The number of children being taught at home has increased by 60% in the last two years.

Bridget Radford, who home-educates, said it gave her children more confidence.

"They're curious, they want to know, they want to learn, they don't see learning as a major chore," she said.

Aiden, who is taught at home, said he didn't like school because of a pressure to learn topics quickly.

"I feel like home-schooling, you can learn each bit properly," he added.
