We are deeply saddened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's passing and our thoughts are with her family at this time.
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.
Employment for SEND students should be accessible, not exclusionary.
Read our @e4emagazine article for suggestions of how companies can break down barriers to employment and what SEND settings can advocate for when talking with employers.

Today is Social Care Day Of Remembrance & Reflection, to pay tribute to the extremely dedicated social care staff that maintained high standards of care throughout the pandemic.
All our staff have gone above and beyond supporting our long-term residents and students even when times were bleak! So, THANK YOU to all our social care staff for all they have done and continue to do day in, day out.
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.
