Pinewood Primary School sings at the Queens


Cllr Andrew Mann was pleased to be able to watch the children from Pinewoods at the recent Queens Theatre Summer Music Festival, the 30 plus children from the School choir put on a fantastic show by singing a spoonful of sugar and the candyman.

As a Governor and former pupil at Pinewood, it is always a pleasure to see the children perform; they were all a credit to the school, a lot of the children performing were in year six, so will be leaving the school in a month, I wish them all good luck at their new schools.

And as the children leave the school, sadly, so does the Head Teacher, Mrs Hazel Boutel. After almost 10 years in charge of the school she has decided to retire from teaching and spend more time with her family, in particular her first grandchild.

Cllr Mann has seen first hand some of the work that Hazel has done in promoting Pinewood Primary. As a school tucked away at the furthest point in the ward, surrounded by Havering Country Park it has often being the forgotten school of North Romford. However, Hazel has led an excellent team of staff who have done their best for the children and putting Pinewood firmly on the map for all to see, I thank her for all her work and wish her all the best in retirement.
