Homeschooling

As of 2014, 9.6% of Medway's children were reportedly homeschooled, [1] though this is a likely lower than the true figure; the data relies on the number of homeschooled children recorded by local authorities during the 2013-2014 period (it is not compulsory for homeschooled children to be registered). [1] As of April 2016, the number of homeschool families is increasing. [2]
