The English speaking cultures tend to have a different relationship to the state than other European cultures. The English cultures tend to see the state as something imposed on the individual, sometimes necessary, but best avoided if it is possible. Other European cultures tend to see the state as an expression of the individuals within it. This results in English societies tendency to have lots of let out clauses so that we don't have to follow what government prescribes.
The education system in Britain is just weird as it is a mix, for instance, a parent can be fined or even sent to prison if t heir child does not go to school enough, but If the parent says the child is being home schooled there is no check, unless the parent agrees to it and no requirement to teach anything at all.
