During his visit he took time to meet with Homewood’s Principal Sally Lees and toured the school including the new iCollege. The Bishop also took part in a Question and Answer session with Sixth Form students, lead an assembly for Year 8 students and enjoyed lunch with staff and students in the Balcony Restaurant.
The focus point of his assembly was his upcoming visit to the Calais Migrant camp on Saturday 19th September and the need to treat everyone as fellow human beings, exploring with the Sixth Form students key topical issues around the Migrant crisis, refugees and the recent assisted dying bill which went before Parliament.
Nathan Wilson, Christian Schools worker at Homewood, who organised the visit said "It was great to welcome Bishop Trevor back to Homewood after his visit several years ago. The staff and students were really impressed by his willingness to discuss topical issues and how his faith impacts his life". Sixth Form student Rebecca Hodgkins agreed, "I thoroughly enjoyed Bishop Trevor's visit. It was great to listen to a leader of the Church of England talk about his views and feelings towards challenging subjects that the world faces."
