Homefield is a community-based independent specialist college that offers education, training and independent living skills for people with learning disabilities and communication difficulties, enabling them to lead fulfilling lives and realise their potential as active citizens.

The college is located within the north Leicestershire villages of Mountsorrel, Sileby & Barrow Upon Soar, we also have a site in Nuneaton for our Warwickshire learners, and work closely with providers such as Enstruct, Macintyre and TECK. This enables us to provide a wide range of individualised vocational education programmes which ensure students achieve their full potential, foster a love of learning and build independent life skills.

Homefield is a vibrant, inclusive and caring community, with over 130 staff members who support around 150 students and day service members, day in, day out. We want everyone in our community to feel valued, happy and safe. We offer a range of professional development opportunities for our staff members to benefit from as well as ensuring that employee wellbeing is an integral part of day-to-day life.

The college offers a range of individualised 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 that they are in. Once this is achieved it allows our staff to work with them to develop and improve their skills to enable them to live more independently once they leave the college.

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 a range of services for those who remain as part of our lifelong learning provision. These include; supported work experiences, day services and community enterprises.
