We have the time and inclination to eduucate them ourselves, so why not do so?
We will broadly follow the curriculum and be careful to allow them plenty of opportunities to interact with other kids at clubs and home ed get togethers.

Well, you are taking on a major task. I sometimes wonder if Ivan Illich had the right idea, abolish schools altogether! You may need to hire private tutors. Have you considered all options, all the available alternative schools. One thing to consider is the importance of learning with their peers and most importantly sporting activities how will you ensure your little ones can benefit from these activiites?
