All of us at Homefield are thankful for the Queen's 70 years of dedicated service to our country. Rest in Peace.

So happy and impressed with the work of our @LboroCA students. Here they are creating a mark making mural with @HomefieldCol students to support emotional well-being in SEN education.

We know many social care providers have lost colleagues due to COVID-19, so we’d like to pay our respects to them.

There is a virtual memorial and tribute wall where messages can be left to recognise the efforts of social care workers.
