iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Headteacher's Welcome We are very proud of the confident and caring children at Homer who enjoy learning and facing new exciting challenges. Homer First School & Nursery is a community school based on the Laing estate, to the West of Windsor, we admit children from the age of three until they move on to Middle School at the age of nine.
Our aim is to ensure each child receives the highest quality of teaching to enable them to learn and develop and for each child to be the very best that they can be. We believe children learn best when they are happy and comfortable and therefore we feel our nurturing approach and emphasis on children's emotional care is a priority.
