Welcome to Homewood School

Welcome to the Homewood School & Sixth Form Centre website.

We have arranged our website to make it as easy as possible for you to find information about our school, whether you are visiting as a parent, student, member of staff or someone interested in finding out more about Homewood. 

As the Principal of Homewood, I find new reasons every day to be proud of our students, and I consider it a privilege to be working alongside staff and students in this great school. To keep up to date with what is happening here, follow the links on our Latest News section. You can also hear about some of the plans, ideas and events coming up by checking the Principal's Blog, which I will update regularly as I reflect on what is happening at the school.

To find out important details about the school, including the information we are required to publish on our website, have a look at the School Information section.

Our ethos at Homewood is “Learning, Respect and Belonging” and we work hard to ensure that all our students work hard and achieve well, that they think about the feelings of others, and that they take part in what is going on and have a real sense of belonging at the school. We had an Ofsted inspection in September 2012 and we are celebrating the very successful outcome of the inspection. The Ofsted report grades us as a “Good” school overall, with Good Teaching, Good Behaviour, Good Achievement and Good Leadership & Management.

Inspectors particularly praised

  • The progress pupils make with their learning during their time at the school and the results they achieve in public examinations
  • The quality of the 6th form, including development of leadership skills and preparation for future work and study
  • The courteous behaviour of students around the school and their attentiveness in lessons
  • The quality of teaching, including the way students are helped to become independent learners, and to work well together to support each other in their learning
  • The broad and varied curriculum which provides for students exceptionally well
  • The calm environment for learning in which pupils feel safe

We are delighted that Ofsted recognised the strengths of our school. You can read our Ofsted press release here and see the full report by following this link.

We have a beautiful site and some excellent facilities which we like to make available to the community. We can also provide a range of different services to local people, schools and businesses. For more information about what we can offer, see our Homewood Portfolio.

Whatever your interest in Homewood, please do not hesitate to contact us. We would love to hear from you.
