Little Pinum is a pocket of peace. We envision our estate to be a place of belonging and healing for our students, embodying tranquility and peace for our students, our staff and the wider community. We are committed to ensuring that our estate will provide safety, enhance emotional health and wellbeing and be the canvas for creative and engaging learning opportunities. In full alignment with the organisation’s core values, of belonging, care, respect, helping others, perseverance and integrity, our approach to the stewardship of the estate will mirror these values and be a living example in our ethos and approach.
Little Pinum sits on 26 acres of glorious countryside, nestled in the middle of Priors Marston and Napton. The property consists of 3 log cabins, gardens and allotment, 4 acre paddock, woodland areas, ponds, lake and meadow land. Previously a residential and holiday let, over the summer of 2024 a significant amount of work took place to ensure that the site conformed with the Independent School Standards. The recent renovations have prioritised the safety of the site, improved accessibility and created inclusive and therapeutic learning environments. VLC is often described as a ‘family’ and as such, our vision for the furnishing and decor has been to create a homely, welcoming atmosphere for our students, where they feel proud to steward and care for the site.
