Biography
[edit]Peckett was born in Stamford, Lincolnshire, England, and educated at Stamford School. He played club hockey for Southgate in the Men's England Hockey League and was captain of the England Under-21 squad.
While at Southgate he represented England at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, where he helped England to a fifth place finish.[2][3][4]
Peckett signed for Surbiton from Southgate for the 2004/05 season but required a knee operation which resulted in a six month break.[5] He returned from injury for the England training squad in South Africa.[6]

In September 2007 he took the position of head of hockey and PE teacher at Stamford Endowed Schools, where he spent seven years before becoming head of hockey at The Perse School in Cambridge from 2014 to 2020.[7][8]
