Are you considering homeschooling but unsure where to start? In this inspiring episode of the Seatton Education Podcast, host Victoria interviews Rachel McGregor, a former primary school teacher and headteacher who made the life-changing decision to quit teaching to home educate her children. Having trained at the University of Cambridge and having years of experience leading schools, Rachel shares her journey from traditional education to creating a personalised, nature-based learning environment for her family.

Disenchanted by the system, she founded Wild Walker Academy, a platform promoting outdoor education and child-led learning. Whether you're a parent starting your homeschooling journey or exploring home education as an alternative to traditional school, this video is packed with eye-opening insight into the conventional educational system.
