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.

After Year 1 had visited the library, the children loved the time we spent at the park, especially when the ice-cream man came. It was a perfect end to our perfect day. #outdoorlearning #makingmemories https://t.co/mmQ6yQb8XT

Year 1 had a lovely time at Wisbech library and the park this week. When we went to the library we were told what books we were allowed to read and how many books you can take home every time! You can keep 12 books for 3 weeks! #readingforpleasure #ambitionforall #wisbechlibrary https://t.co/EbLwY3Cunp

More quotes from the day... "I hope when I join, they'll let me choose two of their subjects to mix." "I'll do what it takes to get to a university like this. I want to be a Doctor." "These are the big questions that I really love."

As part of 50b4y7, Year 6 visited Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge University to see what life at Uni life was like. We were very impressed and some of even wanted to start straight away - "I've picked which subject I'll study, when can I enrol?" A brilliant day! #ambitionforall https://t.co/adVScpZb4u

This week in Forest School, we learnt more about nature and the word wild. We found out that wild is everywhere. We went on a summer nature hunt and created our own summer boards. We loved cooking banana splits on the fire and we even had cream on top! https://t.co/3aKghnDLQA

We were very excited to welcome guests to for an experience day. Everyone had fun exploring activities that children would experience to gain an insight to forest school or extend their own CPD. We practiced lighting fires, whittling and had a go at some Nordic Swining. https://t.co/m6Qtt8Yn1I

In Latin, Year 3 looked at the myth of Pandora's box. They used nets to make a box and filled it with notes about the troubles in the World. The children wrote 1 thing that always makes them happy and hopeful and added it to their box. https://t.co/YWhnzQ5QXK
