Our Story
Welcome to Pineham Barns.
Founded on the principles of Fun, Creativity and Achievement, Pineham Barns champions creative and innovative learning opportunities, ensuring that each child is recognised as a unique child with individual needs.
Our school is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with views overlooking the lake; our unique location is explored and used to enhance our curriculum. The importance of the outdoors is reflected innovatively and creatively throughout the school making Pineham Barns a very special place to learn. Through our engaging environment, innovative curriculum and unique teaching styles, we encourage our children to become happy, confident, inquisitive and lifelong learners. We work in close partnership with families to ensure that each child is recognised as unique and given the opportunity to flourish. Through these foundations, and by supporting each child to achieve their full potential, our children achieve exceptionally well and well above national with some outcomes in the top 1% of the UK.
We are proud of our academic success, but we are passionate in ensuring that our children are going to make a positive contribution to the wider world in the future, as Difference Makers.
