If the children are not properly safeguarded then no it is not allowed.

This seems very bizarre to me.

The dots are not joined up. Councils are paying £27000 per "pupil" per year for the "pupil" to be at something that is evading being classified as a "school". If councils demanded that schools be registered before they paid them, that would be a step forward.

It seems that unregistered schools are there to provide supplementary education. They're not really there to provide a national curriculum education, as how can they in under 18 hours per week?
Good answer OG.
Apparently, //A school must be registered with Ofsted if it offers full–time education and: has five or more pupils of compulsory school age ...//

I don't know why local authorities are funding them, but the law must be changed to include all schools - not just those offering full time education.
