About Peckover Primary School

Peckover Primary School sits below the Cambridgeshire local authority average for the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. The school recorded 47% of pupils achieving that combined benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year, compared with a county average of 58%. That gap of 11 percentage points places Peckover in the bottom half of primary schools within the LA, ranked 152nd out of 210. The school’s ranking score of 47 puts it firmly in the bottom 50% nationally, too, at the 83rd percentile. However, the picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects. Maths is a relative strength: 70% of pupils met the expected standard, and the average scaled score of 102 is solid. Reading and writing lag behind, with 61% and 53% reaching the expected standard respectively. Only 4% of pupils hit the higher standard across all three subjects, which is low. So while the headline figure is below the LA norm, the school’s maths performance offers a more encouraging sign.
