Yes, it can be good. We did this for Key Stage 3, age 11 - 14 and it worked well. This is a critical period of young people's lives, when they should learn not only about their world but also how to survive in it and look after themselves, and (sorry boys) that means cooking and eating good food. It allowed some very special bonding, instead of growing apart when they reached teens, we bonded more as a family.
It sounds as if you have a good standard of education yourself so all your problems will be little ones. I have a summary page below, feel free to email on yahoo if you need more detail.

If you have no teaching knowledge or experience it will be a big job for you because you will have to learn what topics must be covered , in what depth and in what context before you can teach your children effectively. At secondary level there are specialist teachers for each subject so you will need to have in depth knowledge to pass on in every subject you want to cover, especially if you want your children to take any exams. Apart from the academic side, your children will miss out learning many social skills that they would encounter in their 'workplace' even if they integrate with others for leisure activities - an extremely important life skill.
Overall, I would be very cautious about withdrawing them from formal education. Have you considered changing their school? Check out the OFSTED reports for all the local schools to find one which has a good ethos - there are some!

My friend is home-schooled. It may keep them controlled and you can monitor exactly what they're doing, but it may mean that when they grow up they won't act great with new people and might be depressed from not seeing friends often or having someone to talk to.

Me personally think its a bad idea. They wont get the interaction they need with other children, it could have a bad impact on them growing up.

Youve done a great thing. Ignore all those who say your kids will turn out shy etc etc, thats rubbish.

Have you considered (independent) faith schools?
