Welcome to Pinewood

Pinewood is set in 84 acres of rolling countryside and offers a unique, family-based co-educational day and boarding environment for children aged 3-13.

The main Prep School is mostly housed in the old, original Bourton House, set in picturesque grounds in the countryside village of Bourton, Oxfordshire. The towns of Swindon, Oxford (city), Marlborough and Cirencester are all within 40 minutes drive.

Pupils are prepared for top Independent Senior Schools at both Common Entrance and scholarship level through a blend of traditional and forward-thinking teaching which encourages independence in learning and fosters academic excellence. Music, drama, art and sport are seen as vital to a child's development and the school offers, in addition, a wide range of activities and an adventure programme. Manners, self-reliance and a regard for others are valued principles upon which the school's ethos is built.

We aim to instil in our children the values of tolerance, compassion, honesty, kindness, courtesy and consideration.
