Peckover Primary School
Wisbech, PE13 1PJ · Cambridgeshire · primary school
184th of 197 primary schools in Cambridgeshire we can score, 210 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.4/10 against 2,587 of them, against 1.7/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 45.0 · 13 | 62% | 0.79 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 38% | 0.92 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 45.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 2.0% reached the higher standard. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.7 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Young Voices club, play archery or bouncercise, and visit the North Norfolk Coast or Burwell House. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 443 pupils in a school with 442 places, meaning it is over capacity by 1. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for children arriving when the school is already over capacity? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard in core subjects? How do families arrange care before and after school hours given the absence of wraparound clubs?
