Could be a type of acacia there are more than 1200 different species so not sure which one.
Or it could be Ailanthus altissima or chinese tree of heaven.

Does the foliage smell at all?
It is not a peppercorn, they usually have serrated leaf margins.

Looks like an acacia at first glance. Are you able to give us a photo of more of the tree? Any buds/fruit/flowers or a bigger picture of more leaves on a branch.
All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small.

I'm guessing it's in the family fabaceae subfamily mimosoideae. Does it have pods?

Where's Ash?

Looks like the large trees that grow in the grounds of the catholic school. Ash should know what it's called. I can't remember.
If you know Norma HH, take it to her. She might know also.

Not much help :lost:
