Community

"An extended school is one that provides a range of activities and services, often beyond the school day, to help meet the needs of students, their families and the wider community". At Homewood we recognise that we have an important role to play and, as such, we aim to provide opportunities for those who live in the community. Through our extended schools programme we offer a wide range of activities for all age groups:

• Family Learning Workshops
• Holiday Activities
• Summer Arts and Sports Workshops
• The Farm and Conservation Areas
• Breakfast Clubs and Special Activities for Targeted Students

"Extended services are seen as already producing benefits, primarily because of a deeper and wider commitment to meeting the needs of all pupils and the local residents." - (OFSTED Report) For further information on extended Schools Programmes or Home Farm Children's Nursery please telephone 01580 764222 Ext 291
