Headteacher’s Welcome – Taney Howarth,  Headteacher

Welcome to Pinewood School

It is an absolute pleasure to welcome you to Pinewood School Academy Trust, a place where every young person is celebrated, supported, and encouraged to be their very best. Pinewood is a specialist SEN setting, for pupils with Learning Difficulties, Autism and Speech, Language and Communication needs.

At Pinewood, we understand that every pupil is unique, with their own strengths, challenges, and aspirations. This is why we are so passionate about creating a school where they feel safe, valued, and inspired to learn. Whether it’s through academic achievement, developing communication skills, or building confidence and independence, we are here to guide and support them every step of the way.

Our incredible team of staff go above and beyond to nurture each child, working closely with families to ensure they receive the care and education they deserve. We believe that learning should be engaging, meaningful, and full of joy, and we take great pride in celebrating every success, big or small, because we know that success looks different for every young person.

As a school, we are on an exciting journey, and we are committed to constantly growing and improving, always striving to provide the very best for our pupils. But what truly makes Pinewood special is our belief that every young person has potential, and with the right support, they can achieve wonderful things.

I invite you to explore our website and learn more about our community. If you’d like to see Pinewood in action, we would love to welcome you for a visit – you’ll see firsthand what makes our school such a special place.
