School Description

Pinewood is a school where all pupils feel safe and happy because they all get on well and help each other. Pupils know that they can be themselves and so they accept others for what they are. As a result, everyone treats each other with kindness and respect. There are positive relationships between adults and pupils. Pupils and staff told us that there was no bullying in the school and parents generally agree with them. Pupils know that they can always talk to an adult who will help them if they are upset or worrying about something. Teachers expect the pupils to work hard and do their very best. They make lessons interesting and fun so that the pupils will enjoy their learning. However, there are some teachers who give pupils work that is either too easy or too difficult to do. Leaders have not yet rectified this problem.
