Pinewood Infant School & Foundation Unit

We are incredibly excited to share that Mr Tutin will be taking on the Nottingham Robin Hood Marathon on 27th September to raise funds for our much-loved Library Bus!

Running a marathon is no small feat, and Mr Tutin is embracing this challenge to help preserve a special resource that brings joy, imagination, and a love of reading to our children every day.

Our goal is to raise £5,500 to fund essential paintwork and body repairs, ensuring that the Library Bus remains safe, protected, and inspiring for many years to come.

We would be delighted if parents, families, and members of our wider community could come together to support Mr Tutin as he prepares for this ambitious challenge. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference.

To donate, simply scan the QR code or follow the link below to visit our JustGiving page. We would also be grateful if you could share this with friends, family, and members of the local community to help us reach our fundraising target.

Thank you for your support and encouragement – together, we can help keep our Library Bus on the road for future generations of readers.

Vacancies It is not as daunting as it sounds! PLUS, we offer biscuits and FUN at meetings. You really would be helping our gem of a school move forward if you would join us. 2 meetings a term and the odd visit and you could be part of something very special indeed!! Come on Pinewood Parents!!

What a lovely end to the half term with a cheque from the local Rotary Club for £400 towards Reading Books! We are so particular about the phonics books we send home, publishers charge such a hefty price for them, so it has been warmly welcomed. Thanks to all within the local community who added some pennies into the collection boxes whilst Santa visited on his sleigh around Arnold this year, as this is where contributions to the pot come from.
