A woman says she does not believe she would have succeeded without her home education.
A home-educated student who achieved straight A and A* grades believes she would not have done so if she had stayed in a mainstream school.
"Once I took myself away from being compared to others I realised I was able to apply myself and find the knowledge myself."The BBC's data unit has found home education figures have doubled in the UK from the 2019/20 academic year to 2023/24. "I’m deeply, deeply concerned. I think this is forced home education. I think so many of the young people are not getting their needs met in mainstream education."
Like Ms Harrison, she wants others to know that parents have a choice when it comes to educating their children.
