There are moments in school life that feel truly special and PINEFEST was one of them. On Saturday 21st June 2025, glorious sunshine and temperatures soaring to 30 degrees provided the backdrop as over 1,500 members of our extended Pinewood family came together to celebrate our 150-year anniversary.
The school playing fields were transformed into a festival space where generations of our community gathered, from the youngest pupils to Old Pinewoodians returning to their roots. Musical entertainment from 29 Fingers, Old Pinewoodians Tilly Cripwell, Annie O’Grady, Lily Vere Nicoll and Jemima Nettleton, along with our own Pinewood Performers, provided the soundtrack, while food and drink from SoleLuna Pizza, Pura Vida Tacos, Happy Herefords, McIntosh Nosh, Cotswold Scoop, and Botanico Bars kept everyone refreshed.
The messages we’ve received since speak to what made the day special – the way our community came together, united in celebration.
“It was like coming home. Seeing old friends and new ones all together was incredibly special.” “The atmosphere was absolutely magical – Pinewood at its very best.”
