The Diamond Learning Partnership Trust is the admissions authority for all the schools in the Trust. This means that it is the Governing Body that sets and applies the admissions policy for every school.

All policy decisions regarding the admission of children into the School are made by the Board of Trustees.

How to Apply for Admission to Reception (Sept - next Academic Year)

The application process for admissions into Reception is coordinated by Peterborough City Council (Local Authority), which acts on behalf of the governing body to offer places at the School. Parents should apply online at www.peterborough.gov.uk/starting-school-in-reception.

Offer letters will be issued by the LA on the National Offer Date.

Late applications (those submitted after the national closing date) will be handled by the Admissions Team.

The published admission number (PAN) for the reception year intake will be 30.

All information around our over-subscription criteria is found within our Admissions policy below.  For further information, please follow the link to the Local Authority Admissions team:

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Determined Arrangements 2027-2028

The Diamond Learning Partnership Trust is consulting on its determined arrangements for its Cambridgeshire and Peterborough schools for 2027-2028.

The School Admission Code 2014 (SAC) states that schools must fully consult with all interested parties when there are changes in their admission arrangements. We are therefore carrying out this consultation process for our draft 2027-2028 Admissions Policy, a copy of which is attached to this email and can also be found on our Trusts website https://diamondlearningtrust.com/consultation-on-diamond-learning-partnership-trust-admission-arrangements-for-september-2027/ 

The consultation will take place between Friday 19th December 2025 and will run for six weeks, ending at noon on Friday 30th January 2026.

Anyone wishing to comment on the School’s proposed Admissions Policy for 2027-2028 should contact Mrs Fowler, PA to the CEO, via e-mail at; pa@diamondlearningtrust.com or by letter to Winhills Primary Academy, Duck Lane, St Neots, PE19 2DX

The consultation process completed by The Diamond Learning Partnership Trust is as follows:

· Notification to all parents, carers and guardians of all schools within its Trust.

· Notification to Cambridgeshire County Council.

· Notification to Peterborough County Council

· Published on the Trust’s website.

All recipients of the consultation will be welcome to respond, and we look forward to hearing your views on the proposal.
