What P.C.B.S. De Wingerd does

P.C.B.S. De Wingerd (also operating as CBS De Wingerd and Christelijke basisschool De Wingerd) is a Christian primary school located at Voorhof 1, 8212 CA Lelystad, Netherlands, serving approximately 250 students aged 4-12 in the Atolwijk neighborhood. Founded in 1996 through the merger of basisschool 't Leerhuys and De Bron, the school operates under the Stichting Christelijk Primair Onderwijs in Lelystad (SCPO Lelystad) non-profit foundation, which sets overarching policies and provides oversight compensation of €20 per child annually to member schools. The school's educational philosophy centers on three values — autonomous, supplementary, and improving — implemented through the 'Continu Verbeteren' (Continuous Improvement) framework, with social-emotional development delivered via the Kanjertraining methodology and specialized support pathways for dyslexia, dyscalculia, and giftedness.

The school operates on a continuous schedule of five equal days from 08:30 to 14:00 and is integrated into the Kindcentrum Voorhof initiative together with neighboring public primary school OBS De Regenboog and childcare provider GO! Kinderopvang. A new combined pavilion facility designed by NEXT architects and Christensen & Co Architecten was announced in plans in 2021 and a public press release issued in December 2023. Revenue is derived primarily from Dutch government per-pupil education funding channeled through SCPO Lelystad, supplemented by voluntary parental contributions for non-educational activities such as school trips and camps. Enrollment is managed through a waitlist with prioritized admission for siblings, neighborhood residents, and other applicants.

The school's technology footprint is limited to standard educational tools: digital whiteboards (digiboards), the Parro parent-communication app, the monthly digital newsletter 'Wingerdingen', and the School-Site/ContentPublisher CMS by Muismedia. Communication channels center on the school's website, the newsletter, the Parro app, and word-of-mouth referrals from existing parent ambassadors. The school is led by director Silke Tuininga and operates without external investors, equity funding, or proprietary technology platforms.
