Pinewood offers the advantages of a small school (average class size of 14), with outstanding facilities, set in splendid rural surroundings. The school is divided between day children and boarders: both boys and girls flourish in the happy and caring atmosphere. In the last 10 years, a major building programme has produced a new Music School, Art Room and CDT workshop, as well as conventional classrooms, kitchen and changing rooms. Academic results are impressive - with scholarships gained to major public schools, and individual attention offered to weaker pupils. A wide range of games and extra-curricular activities means that every child is able to find an area of enjoyment and hopefully of excellence. In September 1993 the school expansion continued with the opening of a pre-prep department for children from ages 4 to 7, with three classes in purpose-built classrooms.
