Whose children are they? Using Kymlicka on multiculturalism to evaluate rights and freedom in Christian home education
This paper considers the so far unresearched position of Christian home education in England and, specifically, the implications of the proposed English Schools Bill (2022) for this minority religious group. We consider the case for external protection of their practices, as well as charges of internal restriction within the context of largely unregulated home education. Quantitative and qualitative survey data from 462 Christian home educators i…
Who controls the agenda? Theological perspectives on state-controlled home education in the UK
Questions regarding the dynamics of power and control involved in formulating the learning agenda for home-educating families arose due to the UK Government’s proposed Schools Bill in May 2022. Empirical research was prompted by concerns from Christian home educators about state interference in their child’s home education, due to perceptions that religious values were being undermined and the ultimate responsibility for raising their child was u…
Misunderstood, Marginalised or Embraced? Examining the place of home education in the Christian community
How do UK Christian home educators feel about their role and function in wider Christian society? An online survey of Christian home educators (n = 462) was analysed thematically and examined through the lens of a theology of belonging. Findings revealed respondents feeling more positively viewed by the Christian community than they are by wider society. However, less than half felt supported by their local church or wider Christian community. St…

Data are drawn from three case study families via questionnaires and interviews and analyzed thematically…
Fundamental British and “The Other” Values—An Analytical Reflection on Implications for Home Education
This paper reflects on the question of whether, and how, Fundamental British Values (FBVs) may affect the practice of home education in the UK. Fundamental British Values were introduced into the national curriculum in 2014, for state administered schools and preschools which have since been required to demonstrate that FBVs are embedded in the practice of the setting. Home educators, on the other hand, are not obliged to follow the national curr…
How to Desire Differently
This paper explores the co-existence of and relationship between, alternative education in the form of home education and mainstream schooling. Home education is conceptually subordinate to schooling relying on schooling for its status as alternative but also being tied to schooling through the dominant discourse that forms our understandings of education. Practitioners and other defenders frequently justify home education by running an implicit …
