Welcome to the Willow Tree Mountain Academy website. We are a private, home educating family based in the United Kingdom. This website is designed to act as a way to allow us to connect with other Home Educating families and share some of our favourite activities and adventures.
Our name is a way to give us an official sounding title or brand identity for future use on CV’s and in Job Applications. It’s common practice within the USA but less common over here in the UK. From what we have read there doesn’t appear to be any legal issues with this, and any similarity to existing schools or educational providers is purely coincidental.
For Local Authorities and other Official Personnel
We are already known to our local authority and are keen to work alongside them and any other professionals who are currently involved with our family or who become so in the future. To protect our privacy we use alias names for any children under 18 and limit the amount of personally identifying information we share. Our goal is to ensure our child (and the children of any other families who decide to join in with any of our activities) receive a suitable education in line with the National Guidelines for Elective Home Educating Families in the United Kingdom.
Our website is not a complete guide to everything we are doing, as to document everything we do would be virtually impossible. We do however feel it’s a good way to showcase some of our most memorable activities, days out and events and explain how we can turn even regular errands and days out into interactive learning experiences.
EHE’s are reminded that we prefer to keep all official communication in writing and we will provide an annual written response documenting progress and the resources we are currently utilising on request. We have plenty of support and so prefer to be left to get on with things as much as possible. If you do have any concerns, we would appreciate you discussing these with us privately so we can address them in a professional manner. You should already have our contact details, but we can also be reached by using the contact information on this website.
