School Information

Pinewood is set in 84 acres of rolling countryside on the Wiltshire/Oxfordshire border. The school offers a quality, family-based co-educational day and boarding environment for children aged 3-13. Pupils are prepared for top independent senior schools at both Common Entrance and scholarship level, through a blend of traditional and forward-thinking teaching, which encourages independence in learning and fosters academic excellence. Learning outside the classroom, together with music, drama, art and sport, are seen as vital to a child's development and the school offers a wide range of activities, which includes the Pinewood Adventure programme. Manners, self-reliance and a regard for others are valued principles upon which the school's ethos is built. A flexible approach to boarding, the family atmosphere and high levels of pastoral care all combine to create an environment that allows children to enjoy a happy, secure and fulfilled childhood.
