Homewood School and Sixth Form Centre

About The School

Thank you for your interest in the advertised position of Principal at Homewood School & Sixth Form Centre. The following information will give you a flavour of our ethos and vision, and the opportunities available at the school for students and staff. We would be delighted to receive an application from you if you would like to lead our enthusiastic, committed and innovative Teaching and Associate staff team.

Homewood School & Sixth Form Centre is a mixed 11 – 18 wide ability school with Academy status with 2100 students including 350 in the Sixth Form.  We are part of Tenterden Schools Trust working in collaboration with local primary schools serving the Wealden town of Tenterden and the surrounding villages.  The school is situated on the edge of Tenterden and enjoys a large semi-rural site overlooking open countryside.  

Homewood has excellent facilities for all its students and our specialisms in Performing Arts, Applied Learning and the Rural Dimension underpin our approaches to learning which are designed to raise achievement across the whole student body. We aim to maintain and develop the cultural aspirations of the school community in line with our priorities of “belonging” and “respect” and offer a broad range of curriculum opportunities in all subject areas. This also extends into the local community through partnerships across primary, secondary and higher education sectors as well as non-educational community partners.  

The College structure at Homewood allows students to move from the Key Stage 3 Discovery College, into one of four Colleges in Key Stage 4, depending on their selection of options, and then into the 6th Form College. To meet the needs of all learners we have launched the Grammar Plus Stream this year to develop our most academically able students and we continue to expand our highly innovative I College. In I College we encourage students to plan their own learning beyond the constraints of a formal timetable, supported by a highly trained team of coaches and subject experts.
