Wider Community
One of our school values at Pinner Wood is 'Heart of our Community' where we will endeavour to make links with and support our local (and further afield) community.
Oracy Centre of Excellence
In June 2024, we were honoured to received the prestigious Centre of Excellent in Oracy award by Voice 21. We have enjoyed building on this success and sharing our work through Oracy days and collaborative projects with other schools, both local and further away. Through these, we have showcased our learning and provision to over 50 different schools.
Sustainability
Sustainability is woven into our school ethos, curriculum, outdoor learning and is overseen by our popular and extremely committed Earth Friends group. Alongside our commitment to reducing waste, taking less coach trips and and reusing where possible, as a school we have supported our local community by:
Litter picking in our local community; individually, as a school trip and as part of the curriculum
Running our Eco Refill shop which opens once a month with the aim to prevent plastic waste and pollution, inviting our families and local community to attend to purchase their refills
Holding termly clothing collections where families donate unwanted clothes which can then be reused and repurposed to our local community
Holding termly Swap Shops where families can swap books, clothes, toys and other items,
Food Bank Aid
Every year, through our Harvest Collection, we donate foods, cereals and other goods to the Food Bank Aid who collect and distribute them to the local food banks.
