What do parents think of Mrs Mactivity?
“When we first started home educating, I felt unsure about whether I was covering enough. Having resources that follow a clear progression has made a huge difference. I can see how skills build over time, but we still work at our own pace.”
“The maths in particular has been a relief. Everything is laid out clearly, and I don’t feel like I’m guessing what to cover next.”
– Laura Bennett, Home Educating Mum
“My son needs things explained carefully and sometimes revisited. I like that we’re not tied to a year group. We can choose what suits him and repeat or extend as needed without it feeling forced.”
“It’s reassuring to use resources that feel properly planned rather than random worksheets pulled together from different places.”
– Daniel Hughes, Parent of a KS2 child

Home Education FAQs
Do I have to follow the National Curriculum?
No. When home educating in the UK, you are not required to follow the National Curriculum. Some families use it as a guide, while others take a more flexible approach.
Where should I start?
A simple starting point is the first week of the first term in a scheme. Work through it and see how your child responds. If it feels too easy, move forward. If it feels too challenging, step back. The progression makes it straightforward to find the right level.
Can I pick and choose resources?
Yes. You can follow a full progression or dip into individual lessons, units or topic packs depending on what suits your routine. Many families also use Morning Starters to ease into the day in a quick, engaging way.
Are Mrs Mactivity resources suitable for children with SEND?
