The things people ask most.

No. In England and Wales, home education is a legal right under Section 7 of the Education Act 1996. You do not need to apply, register, or be approved. If your child is already in school, you deregister by writing to the headteacher. If your child has never been to school, you do not have to notify anyone, though most families choose to write a brief letter to the Local Authority.

No. You do not need teaching qualifications or a degree. The law asks that the education be suitable for your child’s age, ability, and aptitude. You know your child better than anyone, and you can always bring in tutors, online courses, and community groups for specific subjects.

Not at all. Flybrite supports any approach — structured, semi-structured, unschooling, Montessori, Charlotte Mason, or a blend. You can follow the National Curriculum if you want, but there is no legal requirement to do so.

Everything Flybrite does. AI analysis of every activity you log, activity-to-lesson conversion (a walk becomes a documented lesson), the lesson planner with suggestions, Local Authority report generation, unlimited children, unlimited storage, community groups, and priority support. £19.99/month or £199.99/year. 7-day free trial. No card required to start.

Sign up without a card. You get full access to Flybrite Premium for seven days. On day eight, you choose whether to continue. If you do, add a card and you’re billed £19.99/month or £199.99/year. If you don’t, your account simply pauses — you keep everything you logged, and you can come back any time.

Yes. Three clicks from your account settings. No phone call, no retention flow. Your access stays active until the end of the current billing period, and you keep access to everything you have logged.

Flybrite Premium already includes unlimited children on one subscription, so there is no per-child charge. One family, one fee.

Flybrite reads the activities, lessons, and notes you have logged and compiles a structured report in the shape the LA expects. Review, adjust, export as PDF. Included in Flybrite Premium.

You are not legally obliged to admit an LA officer into your home. You are obliged to satisfy the LA that the education is suitable. Most families choose to either send a written report, meet at a neutral venue, or agree to a brief home visit. Flybrite’s report works for all three — it is simply evidence of what your year has looked like.

Yes. Encrypted at rest, stored on servers in the United Kingdom, never sold to third parties. You keep full control — export or delete everything in three clicks. UK GDPR compliant.

Only you, and anyone you explicitly invite (for example a co-parent). Photos and notes are private by default. Community posts you choose to share are the only content that is visible to other Flybrite families, and only to the groups you join.

Yes. Flybrite is fully responsive on any browser, and we have native iOS and Android apps for in-the-moment capture. Web is where you review and plan; phone is where you log as the day happens.

The mobile apps support offline capture — you can add activities, photos, and notes with no signal, and they will sync when you are back online. The web version needs a connection.

Yes. Flybrite Premium includes unlimited children on one subscription — the right shape for larger home-ed families. One family, one fee.

Yes. Home education is not a one-way door. You can apply for a school place at any time through your Local Authority’s admissions process. Your Flybrite records can help the new school understand what your child has been doing.

Search for local home-ed groups, join them, and take part in discussions, events, and resource sharing. You can also create your own group and invite other families. Included in Flybrite Premium.

Yes. Groups post meet-ups, field trips, and workshops, and you can create your own. RSVP tracking keeps things simple, with no separate calendar app and no group chats leaking onto your phone.
