Darcie from 9C has written this brilliant blurb from their Coffee Bar event on the 21^st January. Here is what she had to say!

“On the 21^st January 9C pupils did a Pinewood Coffee Bar and raised £108.74. We would love to thank Parents, carers and staffs for all there help and support its means so much that we can do something amazing for everyone. All the money will go to Pantomime visit. Thank you again for everything you did to support us. 9C learnt a lot of things doing the Pinewood Coffee Bar, they learnt how to work together as a team (together everyone achieves more). 9C has so much fun making everyone smile and having fun.”

On Tuesday 14^th January, Pinewood School were invited to take part in an inter-school Boccia Tournament at Garston Manor School.

Josh (Captain), Maisie, Tahira, Kacper, Ella and Bobby were all chosen to take part.

They all had fun, showed great enthusiasm and teamwork and their efforts paid off, as Pinewood ended up as champions!

Well done to all of those involved!

M&M Theatrical Productions, the UK’s No 1 Children’s Touring Theatre Company has just been performing at Pinewood – bringing all of the energy, magic, and adventure with them!

On Wednesday 8th January, M&M performed Cinderella! This enchanting pantomime took our students into an imaginative, enthralling journey with wonderful costumes, superb scenery and magical special effects! It was safe to say that there was plenty of booing, cheering – and not to forget teacher dancing (oh yes there was!)

After the performance, the students were able to purchase Popcorn, Drinks, and Sweets to finish the morning off with sweet twist! We can now confirm that a total of £64.75 was raised from the sweet stall!

The Pinewood School Community would like to thank M&M Theatrical Productions for putting on a fantastic show. We are very much looking forward to welcoming them back to our school on the 6th March for the end of World Book Week – where they will be performing Alice in Wonderland. We would also like to thank Miss Jones for organising the day!

Monday 16th December saw the start of Pinewood’s festive week with the Upper and Lower school Christmas Carol services at Holy Trinity Church.  Pupils sang, delivered readings, dressed up as nativity characters and listened to the Christmas story.  We would like to thank our parent audience and the PTFA for providing the mulled juice and chocolate Yule logs.

During the last week of November, all of our Year 11 pupils participated in an experience of further education.  They remained in their form groups and went to a different setting each day. Some pupils were able to experience the College and Sixth Form settings, whilst others were able to get a great taste as to what life would be like at University. The aim of the week was to show them the differences between the settings and Pinewood – in order to help prepare our students for life outside of the school gates! This is something they all thoroughly enjoyed and was extremely beneficial to them.

During this experience, they learnt that Colleges do not have a playground, that you have to wear your ID badge at all times; and that you call teachers by their first names.  The students got to see lots of familiar faces in the form of past Pinewood pupils and really got stuck in by participating in a range of lessons.
