Home Educating families gathering at the Forum (Sept 2026 update)
Home Educating families had a fabulous time gathering at The Cirencester Family Support Forum on 10th September for a ‘Not Back to School Picnic’. We had several families come along and new friends were made. The next home-ed focussed gathering will be Thursday 24th September where we will be making rock pets! Home educating families plan to gather fortnightly at the Forum going forward, please keep an eye on our social media and local home educating facebook groups for any updates and agreed dates.
August update 2026–
Following on from feedback from families, we have adjusted the time of the Forum to 12 noon to 2pm as of 20th August session and going forward. We REALLY hope this helps some families to access the Forum more easily.
Thank you to everyone who gave feedback during sessions and our WhatsApp group. If you have any further feedback as to how the Forum is working or not working for you and your family then please do let us know.
The Forum is running during August 12-2- Do come along and try!
