Welcome to Pinewood Class

Pinewood class is a vibrant, energetic PMLD class situated on the Upper school site. We consist of nine pupils ranging from Key Stage 3 - 5.

In Pinewood, we follow the whole school curriculum, which is adapted to meet the needs of each individual member of the class. 

In Pinewood, we have an experienced team to support and implement our learning, which is multi sensory and incorporates the use of a range of specialist equipment. For example switches, assistive music technology equipment and other resources.

Developing communication skills is in the heart of everything we do, for example when exploring our sensory letter trays, sensory stories, art and science but to name a few, we constantly encourage pupils to express their preference or an option. We use a range of approaches from PODD to eye gaze, Makaton and touch cues.

Pinewood class enjoy and learn best in a stimulating, fun and enthusiastic environment and know how to learn and have fun!
