mandatory registration expected

175,900 children home educated in England last year. Mandatory registration is coming. The families who are ready will not be scrambling.

Important for UK parents

Mandatory registration is coming to England

The Children's Wellbeing and Schools Act 2026 gives Local Authorities new powers to request evidence of suitable education. Most families have nothing organised. Little Folio changes that.

Features

Everything in one place. Nothing falling through the cracks.

Built specifically for UK home educators, because the Local Authority does not want a scrapbook. They want evidence.

Activity log

Log what your child learned today. It takes two minutes. Over a year it builds into a complete record of their education, one you will actually be glad you kept.

Evidence vault

Upload photos of artwork, written work and projects. When the Local Authority asks what your child has been doing, you will have something to show them.

Photograph documents directly

Local Authority correspondence vault

Keep every letter and email from your Local Authority in one place. When the next one arrives you will know exactly what was said last time.

Local Authority report builder

Build a professional report directly from what you have logged. The structure is already there. You just add your words.

What no other home education app has

Learning Atlas

A visual map of your child's curriculum coverage. See which subjects are coming up regularly and which have gone quiet. Spot the gaps before your Local Authority does.

Philosophy statement builder

Every home educating parent needs one. Most find it the hardest document to write. Answer five questions about your approach and Little Folio puts it into words, ready to send.

Activity templates

Not sure how to describe what you did today? Choose from ready-made templates for every subject. Edit the details. Save. Done.

Local Authority letter templates

Six pre-written letters for the situations that make most parents anxious. Initial contact, responding to a suitability enquiry, declining a home visit. Download as a PDF and send.

How it works

Three steps. No learning curve.

3

Be ready when they ask

When your Local Authority gets in touch, and under the new legislation they may, open the report builder. Your records are already there. Add a few sentences of your own. Download. Send.

What parents say

Trusted by UK homeschool families

"When our Local Authority got in touch I was so anxious. I opened Little Folio, clicked generate report and had a professional letter ready to send in minutes. I actually cried with relief."

"I used to keep everything in a binder, a folder and three different email chains. Now it is all in one place. The evidence vault alone is worth the subscription."

FAQ

Questions parents ask us

There is currently no legal requirement to keep records, but your local authority can ask you to demonstrate that your child is receiving a suitable education. Having organised records means you can respond with confidence. With mandatory registration coming in 2026, good record keeping is more important than ever.
Yes, completely. Little Folio is built around UK local authority requirements, English education law and the language that UK families and councils actually use. It is not a US product adapted for the UK.
You select a child and a date range. Little Folio pulls everything you have logged for that period and organises it into a clear structured document. You add your own introduction and any extra context. Then download as a PDF and send. No AI. No data processing. Just your records, organised.
Your data is stored securely and is completely private. No other parent or third party can ever see your records. We never sell your data or share it with local authorities. Your records belong to you.
Yes, cancel any time with no questions asked. Your records remain accessible until the end of your billing period. We never lock you out of your own data.
The Learning Atlas is a visual map of your child's curriculum coverage. It shows which subjects have been covered across each month and alerts you when a subject has not been logged recently. No other homeschool app offers this feature.
No. Nothing in Little Folio is generated by AI. Your records are written by you. The activity templates and letter templates were written by our team, they are starting points, not finished documents. Your child's data never touches an AI system.
Six pre-written letters covering the situations home educating parents find most stressful, from introducing your home education to responding to a suitability enquiry. Edit the details, download as a PDF, send.
Little Folio has a letter template for exactly that. Open it, fill in your details, attach your report. Most Local Authority enquiries are routine. The families who struggle are the ones who have nothing organised.
No. Section 7 of the Education Act 1996 requires a suitable full-time education, not the national curriculum. Little Folio helps you demonstrate your own approach is broad, balanced and progressing.
Free to start. No card needed.

The families who are ready when the Local Authority asks are the ones who kept going when it felt like extra work. Little Folio makes the keeping-going part easier.
