Pegasus 2019

Posted on

The end of May saw Pinewood’s yacht team join the crew of the tall ship Pegasus, as they completed their residential voyage along the Cornish Coast.  The Island Trust would like to thank: Albie, Cameron, Cormac, Harry, Maisie, Michael, Olivia and Rubi-Leigh for their hard work crewing the 74-foot Pilot Cutter. 

Highlights of the trip included visiting Looe, Ice Cream in Fowey and the beach bbq day at Readymoney Cove. As members of the crew we had to hoist the sails, steer the ship, tie knots, cook and make the yacht ‘ship shape’.  

A fantastic voyage with an awesome crew!

Visit from MP Mark Prisk

Posted on

We were delighted to have a visit from the MP for Hertford and Stortod Mark Prisk on Friday 10th May. Mark met with myself and Robin Cregan our Chair of Governors during which time we discussed the successes and challenges faced by the school to help him better understand the distinctiveness of a School such as Pinewood. It was a pleasure for him to meet with prefects who discussed with him some of the things that they felt about the school as well as taking a tour of the building.

GSK Orange Day supports Pinewood Pupils

Posted on

Pupils would like to say a big thank you to the GSK staff who came to Pinewood School on Friday 29th March.  Ten volunteers organised and ran an Easter arts and crafts workshop for the children.  GSK staff are offered an ‘orange day’ to take a day off work to support the local community.  It was a super opportunity for our children to get to know people from industry and the volunteers spoke very highly about our students – they noticed how well the children engaged with them; how polite they were to the volunteers and to each other; it was noted how proud the children were of their work and celebrated each other’s achievements.
