Use what helps - this isn't an official form
Every family is different, and local authorities may ask for different things. This pack is just a helpful starting point - not legal advice or a form you have to use. Daily logs, attendance, hours and reports are not required everywhere. Check the current rules where you live and read any request you receive carefully.
Use what helps
Print out the form and fill in the sections that suit your family and leave the rest.
Pick useful examples
A few clear examples are often better than trying to record every moment.
Look back now and then
Use the summary pages to spot progress, interests and possible next steps.
1. Learner and record overview
Learner name
Age or year range
Period covered
Parent or carer
How we learn and what we're interested in
2. Dated activity record
Use one line for an activity worth remembering. Duration and evidence are optional.
| Date | Activity or experience | Learning noticed | Area | Optional evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
3. Learning-area summary
Rename, combine or skip these summaries. They're only prompts - you don't have to follow a set curriculum.
Language, reading and communication
Mathematics and problem solving
Science, nature and technology
Humanities, culture and community
Creative and practical learning
Physical, social and emotional development
4. Progress and reflection
What has become easier or more independent?
What interests or questions kept returning?
What worked especially well?
What would we like to try or explore next?

6. Optional attendance and hours
Fill this in only if it helps your own planning or someone has specifically asked for it. Home educators across the UK are not all required to track days or hours.

Prefer to build the record as you go?
Homeschooly keeps activity notes, learning areas and optional evidence together, then turns the same records into a report when you need one.
