If you go down to the park today

You’re sure of a big surprise. OK, not a very big surprise but if it was Stoke Park in Guildford on Wednesday this week you might have seen 24+ home educating families having a picnic and blowing bubbles.

Blowing bubbles

All this was part of the national Not Back to School Picnic to mark Freedom in Education Day and to protest against the recommendations of the Badman report.

Earlier that morning EHE was the the lead story on Surrey Breakfast with Nick Wallis (BBC Radio Surrey - Listen again here).
