Mrs Clark 

I am the Opal Class teacher. I have been at Homer for eight Years and I have taught in EYFS, KS1 and KS2. I enjoy teaching all subjects, but my favourite lessons are Art and DT as I love learning different creative techniques and experimenting with different materials. I have two daughters, both are at Dedworth Middle, and they still love coming here as much as I do. When I am not at school I really enjoy spending time with my family, completing crafting activities and reading books, on my own or with my children. I am looking forward to getting to know my new class in September and having lots of fun together. 

Mrs Bleach

I teach in several classes, often teaching Science as I really enjoy finding out about things and helping you to investigate the world. My main hobby is music - I play the piano, clarinet and flute and I enjoy singing in a choir every week. You'll often find me singing to myself! I am looking forward to seeing you all again in September and having lots of fun!
