Home Education Learning Record

Record what your child has been learning, capture project outcomes, and export summaries without turning home education into school at home.

What this area is for

Use Home Education Learning Record to keep a calm, organised picture of what your child has been learning over time.
The record is designed for examples of learning, parent notes, learner reflections, and progress snapshots rather than formal attendance or school-style tracking.
You can use it for work completed inside CanDoLearn and for learning that happened away from the screen.

Choose Add learning record when you want to enter something manually such as a project, discussion, practical task, or life skills activity.
Completed CanDoLearn sessions can appear as imported drafts so you can review them, add context, and decide what belongs in the longer-term record.
Keep entries short. A clear activity title, a few skills practised, and one honest note are enough to make the record useful.
Use Project outcome when a record captures a meaningful milestone or a final outcome from a larger project rather than a routine session.

Parent notes work best when they describe what helped, what felt tricky, or what improved rather than trying to sound formal.
Learner reflections can stay short and natural. One sentence about what they liked, found hard, or want to try next is enough.
Use Suggested next step to capture a gentle next move, not a heavy plan.

Open Export monthly summary to choose the learner, month, and whether to include all records or only key progress examples.
You can include or leave out parent notes, learner reflections, next steps, and subject breakdown depending on the summary you need.
Use Print for a clean browser print view, Copy summary text for quick sharing, or Download PDF for a branded summary.
Open Monthly learning pack when you want a fuller parent-facing pack that combines learner context, progress, project brief, project outcomes, and planning prompts.

Aim for small, regular updates rather than trying to record everything at once.
Mark key progress examples when something shows a genuine step forward in confidence, independence, or understanding.
Use filters by learner, month, subject, learning type, or confidence level when the record starts to grow.
