Welcome
It is a pleasure to welcome you to Pinewood School Academy Trust, a specialist SEN setting where every young person is celebrated, supported, and encouraged to be their best. We support pupils with Learning Difficulties, Autism, and Speech, Language and Communication needs.
At Pinewood, we recognise that every pupil is unique. We create a safe, nurturing environment where young people feel valued and inspired to learn. Through academic progress, communication development, and building confidence and independence, we support pupils at every stage of their journey.
Our dedicated staff work closely with families to ensure each child receives the care and education they deserve. We believe learning should be engaging and joyful, and we celebrate every success, knowing achievement looks different for every pupil.
We are committed to continual growth and improvement to provide the very best for our pupils. I invite you to explore our website or visit the school to see what makes Pinewood such a special place.

Build Update 1
We’re planning to keep you posted with updates of how the build is going on site at Pinewood and here’s an aerial shot of the progress so far.
A temporary access-way has been created on Presdales’ field next to the school to allow access to the area on our playing field where our temporary school will be located while the old building is demolished and the new school is built in the same spot.
Over the Easter Break, the contractors were busy removing 250 lorry loads of top soil and replacing it with 250 lorry loads of stone to form a foundation for the temporary building.
Of course, once the whole project is complete in 2026, the temporary school and it’s foundations will be removed and the playing field put back to grass.

Progress on the temporary school site as of April 2024
