What we do
Schola is a simple tool for home educating families in England. You jot down learning as it happens — the museum trip, the baking that turned into fractions, the chapter read at bedtime — and we organise it into subject coverage, hours, and a clear evidence log. When your local authority asks how your child is being educated, you generate a structured report in one click instead of losing a weekend reconstructing a year from memory.
With the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Act 2026 introducing registration for children not in school (expected from 2027), every home educating family will eventually need to show how their child learns. We exist to make that a two-minute job, on your terms.
Effortless logging
A quick note, a subject tag, done. All styles of education count — structured, semi-structured, and fully child-led.
One-click LA reports
Child details, approach, providers, hours, subject coverage and a dated evidence log — formatted the way authorities expect.
Private by design
Your records live on your device. We can't read them, sell them, or hand them to anyone — because we never have them.
Built for UK home ed
UK subjects, UK law, plain-English guidance on the 2026 Act — not an American planner with grades and transcripts bolted on.
How we're different
Whose side are we on?
Yours. Plenty of home educators are uneasy about the new register, and we think that unease deserves respect, not marketing spin. We're not here to help anyone monitor you. We're here because good records are the strongest protection a home educating family can have — they show, on your own terms, that your child's education is thriving. The register is coming either way; we'd rather you meet it prepared, confident, and in control of your own story.
Our promises
- Your data is yours. Stored on your device. Exportable any time. Deletable any time.
- Minimum necessary sharing. Reports contain what the law asks for — you decide anything beyond that.
- No judgement. Child-led learning is learning. The app never scores, grades, or nags.
- Plain English, always. We'll explain what the law actually says, including the parts still undecided.
Where we're going
Today: effortless records and one-click reports. Next: report formats matched to each local authority's requirements, so what you send is exactly what they expect. Later: help finding exam centres, tutors and resources for the growing number of home educated teenagers working towards GCSEs. Same principle throughout — you stay in control.
Open the app, add your child, and see your first report in under five minutes.
