Pinewood School is a special school which provides children and young people who have additional learning needs an opportunity to access high quality learning and teaching. The curriculum is designed and adapted to meet the diverse needs of individual learners.

The school is based in the village of Blackburn. The school is classified as through school supporting both primary and secondary aged pupils. There are 19 classes across the school. The school is supported by a team of health professionals who regularly meet with staff, children and parents. This includes: school nursing team, Community Pediatrician, Speech and Language Therapists, Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist, Education Psychologist and Children and Adolescent Mental Health Team.

There is a very positive ethos across the school. Staff, parents and partners work very well together to create a community to provide the best possible care for our children. We are seeking a new school leader who will bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to join the school community in creating a dynamic and inclusive environment for our most complex learners in West Lothian.

Pinewood Vision:

Effective high-quality learning and teaching is a priority and works alongside a nurturing ethos within the school. Staff are creative, barrier removing and caring in approaches allowing pupils to access the curriculum appropriately. Therefore, all staff set high expectations to encourage young people to be all they can be in order that they achieve their individual potential. This allows all learners to leave school as effective contributors, successful learners, confident individuals, and responsible citizens. The school celebrates every child’s individual success and promotes lifelong learning and development of skills life. Our vision as a school community is to provide relevant, supportive and challenging learning experiences. Fostering a community where learners are given opportunities to develop a positive attitude towards lifelong learning promoting more independent living.
