Montesole Playing Fields – Council Works.

The PInner Association has been informed by a representative of Harrow Council that the earth moving works at Montesole Playing Fields to create a temporary coach park as a safe pick up / drop down point for the pupils of Pinner Wood School had to be done as a matter of extreme urgency in order to be ready for the start of the Summer Term. He apologised that it had not been possible to give prior notice of these works to all the potentially affected residents around Montesole Playing Fields, and it was hoped that further information would be available soon after Easter.

We have also been informed that the contractors should not start work until 8am.

Montesole to be Pick Up/Drop of point for PWS

Confirmed  by Harrow Council.

Coach and bus services will depart from Montesole Playing Fields. There is no parking at the site and no car access to the Playing Fields. We have begun some construction work there to make it safe and suitable for the purpose. Children who attend breakfast/after-school club will take a different coach to and from Pinner Hill Communal Hall – even on days when they are not attending breakfast/after-school clubs.

Update from Harrow Council on Travel to Pinner Wood School dispersed sites

Travelling to Pinner Wood school

 

Update from Harrow Council – 11 April 2017 
Thank you to all parents and carers for filling in the travel survey to help us assess travel needs. Tomorrow (12 April 2017), a letter about the transport assistance options will be sent out to parents and carers along with a Bookings and Claims Form that will need to be filled in and returned to us.

Pinner Hill Community Hall Activities – Update

Because the Nursery, breakfast & after-school clubs from Pinner Wood School have temporarily relocated to the Pinner Hall Community Hall, existing activities have been suspended until such time as the hall is returned to the community.

The only exception to this is the Monday Bingo Session – this will take place at Pinner Cricket Club between 3pm & 5pm.

The following activities are suspended

Monday

  • Keep Fit Club

Wednesday

  • Non-Contact Boxing

Thursday

  • Toddler Group
  • Youth Club

The problem was getting a venue to host these activities close to the existing hall as many people attending don’t drive.

Pinner Association – Open Meeting/85th AGM

The Pinner Association Open Meeting / AGM is your chance to come and find out what is happening now in Pinner and to give your views and get your questions answered on any topic of interest or concern to those who live or work in Pinner.   The Open Meeting is free to attend and you do not have to be a member of The Pinner Association to do so – but if you are concerned about the quality of life in Pinner and are not already a  member why not join today –  Membership

Dr Amol Kelshiker, Chair of the Harrow CCG, is to give a short talk to inform us about the NHS “STP” initiative, which will provide medical treatment in locations closer to a patient’s home, rather than use the resources of a large hospital for routine matters, in order to use NHS resources more efficiently and to improve the patient’s experience of care.

Open Forum will be your opportunity to have your voice heard and to ask questions about anything that is concerning you about life in Pinner.

We look forward to welcoming you to our meeting on the 26th April – see you there!

Pinner Wood School KS1 pupils not moving to St Jerome COE Bilingual School.

I have had confirmation from Harrow Council that the KS1 pupils will not be temporarily relocating to St Jerome’s School but instead reception, year 1 and year 2 will move in to buildings on the Civic Centre site that were previously occupied by Marlborough School.

Part of the issue was to do with safety issues surrounding the drop off point at St Jerome School.

A meeting is being held tonight at the Harrow Arts Centre for parents who received email notification yesterday afternoon.
