A small school where every child is known, valued, and supported to thrive.
Homerswood is a one-form entry school that proudly serves the Knightsfield and AL8 communities. As a small school, we offer a warm, personal environment where children feel safe, secure, and truly part of our school family.
At Homerswood, we go beyond the classroom to offer a rich and inclusive education that inspires children to grow, explore, and discover.
Our vision is simple but powerful:
"Choose a pathway to grow, be curious and discover."
This vision underpins everything we do and supports each child’s journey of excitement, learning, and personal growth.
We believe that every child has a unique story and we take the time to listen, understand, and nurture each one. Our inclusive and therapeutic approach ensures all children feel safe, seen, and supported.
Strong relationships are at the heart of Homerswood. We work in close partnership with parents and carers, valuing the trust you place in us and celebrating every child’s journey together.
We are proud of our personalised, adaptive teaching, designed to meet a wide range of learning needs and styles. Our teachers inspire, challenge, and support every pupil to reach their full potential — academically, socially, and emotionally.
Children learn best when they feel connected to what they’re learning. That’s why we make learning meaningful through:
- Outdoor play and pupil-led exploration
- Hands-on life skills such as learning CPR, visiting the library, and road safety
- Firm but fair boundaries that promote respect and responsibility
Our bespoke curriculum encourages children to leave their own ‘footprints’ — making memories and building lifelong skills that prepare them for the future.
We empower our pupils to take the lead in shaping their school experience. Whether it’s:
- Contributing to the school council
- Becoming Pupil Leaders or Sports Leaders
- Choosing clubs or influencing curriculum decisions
Every child’s voice matters at Homerswood.
As a Google School, we embrace technology to enhance learning.
- Each class has its own set of Chromebooks
- Learning is supported with Google Classroom and Smart TVs
This ensures our pupils are digitally confident and equipped for the modern world.
We know that children learn best when they are happy, secure, and supported. Our focus on wellbeing runs through every aspect of school life, ensuring every child feels part of something special.
Homerswood is a place where children become:
- Curious learners
- Confident communicators
- Kind and resilient individuals
From Nursery to Year 6, we walk with your child every step of the way, helping them grow into the very best version of themselves.
