Learning outside the Classroom is at Pinewood’s heart. Equal importance is given to the explicit requirements of a classroom-driven curriculum and the implicit benefits this brings.
Pinewood focuses on instilling a love and passion for learning from the earliest entry point. Children are absolutely prepared for top independent senior schools, and many move on with scholarships and other awards, but more than that, the children are taught independence, confidence, resilience, manners, self-reliance and importantly a regard for others.
“The school fully meets its aim to release the potential of every pupil by developing character, curiosity, learning and skills… Pupils are highly confident communicators, who demonstrate mature speaking and listening skills, and consideration for others.”

Pinewood offers an educational provision that is child-centred and holistic to the core. There is ample space within a good school for scholarly teaching, but it is the overall cultivation of mind, body and spirit that counts the most.
Although Pinewood sits within 84 acres of rolling countryside, it is still very accessible. In addition, Pinewood currently operates three minibus runs (Monday to Friday) using the school minibuses and driven by school staff.

Teaching our children about the world outside of the school gates and the important role that each and every one of us plays in that world is a fundamental part of school life.
Over the past 18 years, Pinewood has seen significant investment in updating and providing key facilities, which has allowed Pinewood to achieve its aim of becoming the leading independent, co-educational school for children aged 3-13 in the area.
Pinewood was founded in 1875 and we are looking forward to celebrating our 150th anniversary in 2025.
Pinewood is very fortunate to have a team of dedicated and committed governors, who are closely involved in many aspects of school governance.
