The future of Homewood College
Homewood College is a small specialist school for pupils aged 11 to 16 with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs.
The school has been in the Ofsted category of ‘inadequate: special measures’ since December 2021 and despite the efforts of school leaders, staff and support from the council, the school has not made sufficient improvement.
We’re now seeking views on the proposal to close Homewood College, following agreement at the council’s Cabinet meeting on Thursday 27 June.

Phases
Introductory information
Homewood College, a small specialist school for pupils aged 11 to 16 with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs.
The proposal to close the school is part of a range of changes coming in to improve the educational offer to current pupils for the remainder of their schooling.
This includes introducing a new model of provision for pupils with social, emotional and mental health needs, which was agreed at the same cabinet meeting. This model will offer more flexible and more inclusive option for pupils with SEMH in the city.
Homewood College has been in the Ofsted category of ‘inadequate: special measures’ since December 2021 and despite the efforts of school leaders, staff and support from the council, the school has not made sufficient improvement.
Following consultation with parents and carers of pupils and school staff earlier this year, no further places have been commissioned at the school from September 2024.
As part of that process, we’ve been working with parents and carers to find more appropriate SEMH provision for pupils from September.
