About Us

Home educating in community, one day at a time..

The hub started informally in July 2022 by Una, home ed mum of 3, under the name ‘Spennymoor Home Ed Hub’. We started by providing a monthly arts and crafts meet for home ed children. Play Club was founded shortly after that and by 2023 we began developing successful community partnerships with various local organisations. The 2023/24 academic year saw enormous growth for the hub and we welcomed a large number of new families. In 2024, our focus has been settling in at Merryoaks Community Hall and Tudhoe Community Centre, leaving behind our original venue in Spennymoor. The move has allowed the hub to grow and flourish even more and we look forward to working with our venue partners more in the coming school year.

Our Story

The hub started informally in July 2022 by Una, home ed mum of 3, under the name ‘Spennymoor Home Ed Hub’. We started by providing a monthly arts and crafts meet for home ed children. Play Club was founded shortly after that and by 2023 we began developing successful community partnerships with various local organisations. The 2023/24 academic year saw enormous growth for the hub and we welcomed a large number of new families. In 2024, our focus was building partnerships with new community venues leaving behind our original venue in Spennymoor. The move to new venues across the community allowed the hub to grow and flourish even more. The lead up to 2025/26 has brought the development of even more partnerships with local teachers and organisations as well as welcoming more new families. Development for a new 14-16 provision is also in development. Below, please see our key session leads for the next academic year.
