Contact with Schoolhouse

The request was successful.

Dear Highland Council,

I wish to know what official contact the charity schoolhouse has had with Highland Education in the last 5 years.
This is contact initiated by the charity in relation to Home Education.

Schoolhouse claim on the Enquire website and their own website that:
"we provide training on all aspects of elective home education to other agencies."
In their constitution they claim to " advance the education of children by the provision of home
education services and associated facilities and to advance the education of the public in the matter of home education"

Please confirm what training/advice schoolhouse have provided Highland Council staff n the last 5 years

Please also state what this training consisted of and how the training was conducted. Was it in relation to best practice or if not please state the nature of the contact
Please also confirm if at any point in the last 5 years if Schoolhouse have reported membership feedback to Highland Council in order to ensure best practice and improve standards.

Yours faithfully,

Sharon Smith

Highland Council
