Welcome to our website, we hope this gives you a good introduction to our school.

Pinewood School Academy Trust is a specialist SEN setting, for pupils with Learning Difficulties, Autism and Speech, Language and Communication needs.

We place successful relationships at the heart of what we do and visitors often remark on the positive atmosphere and interactions between pupils and staff at the school.  Pupils tell us they feel safe, supported and cared for at Pinewood and they know how to ask for help.

We care deeply for each individual pupil and want them to be as successful as possible in all that they do.   Our curriculum, including our extra-curricular opportunities ensures our pupils will gain the confidence to be more independent, make positive contributions to their community and excel in their further education.  As well as traditional academic subject skills, we ensure that communication, health and wellbeing, self-regulation and safe exposure to risk are taught to give pupils the ability to make informed decisions for their future.   

We value the importance of learning outside of the classroom to both consolidate and make learning real.  We regularly make use of trips, visits, residentials within our local area and beyond.

Please get in touch if you would like to find out more.
