Home educators have united in song at a Frizinghall church hall to record a protest track against stronger controls on how they go about educating their children.

A mobile music studio pulled up at St Margaret’s Church on its nationwide tour to get parents and children to help compile their own version of Pink Floyd’s 1979 hit, Another Brick in the Wall.

The reason for their coming together is the Graham Badman review of home education.

It was commissioned by the Government and recommends a compulsory national register for home-educated children, that parents must provide a clear statement of their educational plans for their child over the coming year and that local authority officers should have the right to access homes and speak with children alone to judge whether they are safe.

The consensus among home educators is that home education will be obliterated in its current from should recommendations be taken up.

One of the organisers behind the recording, Techla Wood, who teaches her six-year-old son Ben and 13-year-old twins Daisy and Chloe at home, said: “It’s not possible to say what you will be teaching a year in advance.

“The state school system is in chaos.”
