Pupils are happy at Pinewood. They are polite and welcoming. They enjoy spending time with each other and make good friendships. At breaktimes, there is lots to do. Pupils have fun on the playground and take part in a wide range of clubs. They appreciate the wide range of experiences that enhance their curriculum, for example regular trips out. They like the ‘Pinewood Outdoor’ learning, including bushcraft and adventurous activities. Pupils enjoy their learning in subjects that are planned and delivered well, for example mathematics. Pupils want to learn. They talk enthusiastically about how their teachers help them understand things. They are well behaved in lessons and listen carefully to their teachers. However, pupils are not taught well enough in all subjects. The school has not given enough consideration to how learning will build year on year. Pupils do not receive a reading curriculum that consistently supports them to learn to read fluently. They do not have enough quality books and stories shared with them to help them develop a love for reading.
