Welcome to Pre-Prep

Welcome to Pre-Prep at Pinewood School – the first step on a wonderful adventure!

The curiosity, passion and drive to learn is a life-long pursuit, giving us an important role in Pre-Prep: to inspire the enthusiasm that will remain with the children for the rest of their lives.

The holistic approach that permeates Pinewood as a whole is never more prevalent than here with our youngest pupils. The children are encouraged to take risks, follow their passions and expand their horizons – all with a core understanding of what it means to be a kind, considerate and gracious member of our school community and beyond.

We would love to welcome you to the Pinewood Pre-Prep and show you first-hand the warmth and buzz that radiates from our classrooms each and every day but, until then, let us share a glimpse of what makes it such a special place to be…

Toddler Mornings

Come and join our mini adventure!

We hold regular toddler mornings on Thursdays throughout the term.

This is a wonderful opportunity for families considering joining our Nursery or Reception to get to know the school better, making for a smoother transition when your child eventually starts at Pinewood. It is also a chance to meet other parents, either those already at the school or those also considering joining us soon.
