Peckover Primary School

Peckover is a large primary school in the heart of the thriving market town of Wisbech, with a Good Ofsted judgement and a dedicated pre-school which opened in autumn 2019. We are lucky to have a diverse and vibrant community where everyone feels safe and special. It is a happy place to learn, where children, staff and parents are valued and welcome- a place where we all work together to achieve the best for each individual child. We are proud that OFSTED recognised this in our school: ‘Peckover provides a very caring and supportive environment for pupils and families, and plays an important part in the local community.’

We listen to children; they are fundamental to all we do in school. We value their input and want them to feel a part of making their school a better place.

We offer a creative curriculum, rich in memories and opportunities. We believe children learn best when they are given first hand experiences; why show a child a picture of a river in a book, when they could put on their wellies to explore? We give high priority to literacy and numeracy and will always strive to teach these in an innovative and exciting way. The arts and ICT are central to our ethos in enhancing our curriculum and children’s enjoyment of school.

In 2013 we took the exciting step to join the Brooke Weston Trust. This means that we benefit from being part of a larger and extremely successful academic organisation and having access to facilities and opportunities beyond a school’s normal scope.

This week in our Year 4 History lessons, we have learnt about Boudicca. She was the Iceni queen. We have used school's laptops to research this fearsome queen. This will help us answer the question -Was Boudicca a person of significance and why? #historyenquiry https://t.co/fEvFtG1fs0

Year 4 used their knowledge of polygons and Venn diagrams to sort a multitude of 2D and 3D shapes. Some amazing mathematical discussion about the characteristics of 2D and 3D shapes could be heard! https://t.co/SeD7adjmZI

In Y3 Science lessons, we have been learning about the importance of plants. We explored some unusual plants like the Venus fly trap. To get the nutrients it so desperately needs to grow, the plant traps and digest insects such as flies. #amazing #lovescience https://t.co/EK2UDeFaNd

Year 4 have been researching and classifying rainforest animals. We used the tablets to find out what animals needed to survive and then presented our findings in a fact file. We looked at how changes to the environment impacts animals and their habitats. https://t.co/GSaHEJRaME

Rainbow have loved growing their own beanstalks this term and can't wait to take them home and watch them continue to grow. I hope there aren't any giants living at the top of these! #jackandthebeanstalk https://t.co/I7ojZdt6bE
