Mandatory registration is coming to England

The Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill 2026 is expected to introduce a statutory register of home-educated children in England. For the first time, local authorities will have formal powers to monitor whether children are receiving a suitable education. Little Folio gives you a clear, organised record that shows exactly what your child has been learning, so you can respond to any LA enquiry quickly and with confidence.

Features

Everything you need to stay organised and LA-ready

Activity log

Record every lesson, outing and project with subjects, duration and notes. Build a clear timeline of your child's education, all in one place.

Evidence vault

Upload photos, documents and work samples as proof of learning. Everything stored securely and linked to the relevant activity entries.

LA correspondence

Keep every letter, email and response from your local authority in one place. Never scramble to find a previous exchange again.

AI report generator

Choose a date range and click generate. Little Folio writes a clear report showing that your child is receiving a suitable education under Section 7 of the Education Act 1996.

Learning Atlas

A visual map of every subject your child has covered. See gaps at a glance, get alerts when a subject goes untouched and show the breadth of your home education at any time.

Philosophy statement builder

Answer a few guided questions and let Little Folio build a personalised education philosophy statement, the document every local authority wants to see from day one.

AI Polish

Turns rough activity notes into professional educational language. Before any text reaches AI, your child's name and personal details are automatically removed. Your privacy is always protected.

Family Timeline

See all your children's learning in parallel on one Gantt-style chart. Spot patterns, flag LA correspondence and export a snapshot of your family's year at a glance.

What parents say

Trusted by UK homeschool families

"When our LA 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."

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 choose a date range and which child the report is for. Little Folio reads all your activity log entries for that period and writes a clear report showing your child is receiving a suitable education under Section 7 of the Education Act 1996. You can edit it before sending.
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.
AI Polish improves your rough activity log notes into professional educational language. Before any text is sent to AI we automatically remove your child's name and all personal details. Your child's personal information never touches AI. This is a core privacy commitment we never compromise on.
Free to start. No card needed.
