UK home schooling is very much a minority activity... driven in the main by:
a. religious belief - so some religious parents prefer to have the children taught at home & clearly inculcated into the community religion;
b. special educational needs; the SEN system is somewhat of a crisis & some parents having failed to find a suitable solution for their children's education end up taking it upon themselves (because they ay be better able to deal with behavioural issues, for instance);

In response to this post@ChrisMayLA6 Ahh... but wasn't there an exception made for corona? I think the article I read was related to (b) where parents argue that the quality of schools are so bad it causes their children mental problems, and therefore they need to be home schooled.
@h4890
yes, there was a lot on online learning in the pandemic, which is now seen as having contributed to heightened anxiety & social difficulties of the school age children....
