Please note that this has been postponed until the Summer Term as some of the scholars involved have further scholarship commitments on that day.

The art scholars will have a chance to showcase their work in the Summer Term, date TBA.

For those who missed this the first time around, the project is aimed at involving the local communities including the Pinewood community, with the enrichment of the church which so many of us have come to love.

When the project was launched back in October there were no kneelers. Now there are 22 in process and many of you may have become aware of friends taking part etc. Whilst the church is used on a regular basis, the congregation is rarely large so the need for numerous kneelers is not too great. The local Bourton committee has suggested that pew cushions would also be a great benefit. This is a brilliant idea and one that fits in so well with the kneelers being made. The approved design list works for both kneelers and cushions. Pew cushion kits cost £37 each. If you would like to get involved whether by donating (paying for) a kit, donating and sewing a kit or just donating your time to sew, then please contact Louise Slater 783332 or email bob@weez.demon.co.uk.

Thank you.

We are once again collecting these vouchers from Sainsbury's, which provide the school with fantastic new sports equipment.

There will be collection boxes in the Hall and in Pre-Prep (please do not put other supermarket vouchers in there as they have to be sorted by hand!)

Please help us to collect as many vouchers as possible, last year we managed to collect over 11,000 vouchers across the Pre-Prep and Prep, which enabled us to "buy" the following equipment:

Playground football goals, 40 x bean bags, 25 x junior hockey sticks, 1 x Mercian hockey goal keeper kit, 3 x stop watches, 10 x playground multi footballs, 24 x hockey balls, 20 x training bibs.

Please note that the start date for Half-Term next term was incorrectly printed in the recent Headmaster's Half-Term letter.  The correct start date is Thursday 31st May at the following times:

Pre-Prep - 12.00pm

Lower School - 12.30pm

Middle & Upper School - 1.00pm

Janey would very much welcome your help with make-up for the Year 5-7 play, Beauty & The Beast.  There are four performances and a lot of children to get through, so the more help she can get, the better. You don't need to be especially artistic and it doesn't matter if you can't commit to every performance.

Performance dates and times are:

Monday 19th March - 4pm

Tuesday 20th March - 6.30pm

Wednesday 21st March - 4.30pm

Thursday 22nd March - 6.30pm

If you are able to help for some or all of the time, please let Janey know by email on janeynelson@pinewoodschool.co.uk or via the School Office.
