Fish Heroes!

Mar 11, 2025

The Food Teacher’s Centre – Fish Heroes, in collaboration with Alaska Seafood UK and DFDS Group, had a promotion giving away free canned salmon to schools. The idea is to encourage children to eat more fish as it is a healthy choice and is also recommended on the Government’s Eatwell Guide. Pinewood School applied to the scheme and we received our delivery of free canned salmon last week. (Picture of Summer holding the tins, Niaz and Florence).

Last Thursday, Miss Howarth demonstrated a ‘Head of Fish Balti Curry’, using hake, to Oliver Class. Oliver Class then had the opportunity to produce their own amazing dishes. We had lots of fun and the fabulous aroma of fish curry filled the corridors which meant we had lots of inquisitive visitors from other classes enquiring what we had been cooking.

Build Update – January 2025

Jan 10, 2025

Here’s a New Year update on the progress of the new school build at Pinewood School.

The last months of 2024 saw the contractors demolishing the old school building once we had moved in o the temporary school on the field.

Since then they have been extremely busy building the base for a new electricity substation, rerouting services such as drainage and forming the new entrance road.

Since Christmas they have begun work on preparing the ground ready for the concrete base on which the new building will stand and we can expect to see that base being formed in the near future along with the first steel structures of the building being erected.
