Pine Community School is an independent, democratic community primary school. We offer multi-age groupings with a low student/teacher ratio in a caring, harmonious environment. We are committed to partnerships with parents and students that support children's individual learning development in a holistic manner (addressing the whole child including academic, social, physical, emotional and aesthetic needs). Through child-centred, co-constructed curriculum, we provide hands-on learning opportunities that challenge and support students' needs and interests. We are passionate about using research-based best practice to engage our students, providing opportunities to learn and develop in play-based and real life contexts, as well as having a positive outlook and self-identity. We believe that our school helps children to become confident, capable and happy learners who care about others and make good choices as citizens. We aim to develop these skills throughout the primary years. Our motto is 'Happy Children Learn' through a partnership of home and school environments.
