In its own words: ""Let your light shine, so that others may see the good you do." Doors open at 8.20am and close at 8.50am. Staff members are outside to assist the children out of the cars. The children are to be dropped off by car in the loop at the entrance to the school. We operate a "drop off only" system."

From the headteacher's welcome: ""Let your light shine, so that others may see the good you do." I extend a very warm welcome to Lower Peover CofE Primary School. Our school is a special place where staff and children work together, supported by our Christian faith to create a safe, caring and stimulating environment for all."
