I am fortunate enough to be the Principal of Homefield College. I am delighted that you have found your way to our website to explore the many opportunities that the College provides to support individuals with learning difficulties and/or disabilities in leading fulfilling lives.
Homefield College was founded in 1987 as a long-term residential provision for people with learning and communication difficulties. We have since developed our offering to focus on providing specialist further education and training, supporting both part-time and full-time day students.
The College now offers a range of individualised vocational education programmes based within local communities. All programmes are tailored to the needs of each individual, with the starting point being that they feel safe in the environment in which they are. Once this is achieved, it enables our staff to work with them to develop and improve their skills, allowing them to live more independently after they leave the College.
You will find on the website details of the activities that we provide, which, when combined, make up a study programme. Our education provision is based upon our belief that young people achieve through experience, and this is reflected in the activities provided in our programmes. Students will undertake work experience, and we hope that for some of them this will lead to a supported internship.
Homefield also provides supported work experiences, day services and community enterprises.
If you would like to learn more about how we can support individuals with a learning difficulty and/or disability, as well as their families, please do not hesitate to contact us.
I look forward to meeting you.
Tracey Forman
Principal
