The Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust of which St Peter’s CE Primary Academy is part, is the admission authority. St Peter’s CE Primary Academy is a new school which aims to serve all members of its community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice. The school is designated with a religious character. The school’s religious authority is the Diocese of Salisbury.

 The school opened on a phased basis with the following published admissions numbers for 2024-2025:

The school has an admission number of 45 for entry in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2, and 30 in Years 3-6

The school will accordingly admit this number of pupils if there are sufficient applications. Where fewer applicants than the published admission number(s) for the relevant year group are received, the Academy Trust will offer places at the school to all those who have applied. For children who have moved onto St. Peter's Place, please contact the school directly for additional advice.

September 2024 - Significant Change to an Academy Consultation

 The letter below gives details on the proposed expansion of our school from a 1.5 Form-entry primary school to a 2 Form-entry primary school. Please read the full rationale in the letter before contributing to the feedback form.

For children who will be of Reception age in September 2024 details of how you can apply can be found at http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/schools-learning-admissions-applying.

For children who would like to join in a year group other than Reception, an in-year admission application must be made via the local authority.  Further information and access to their portal can be found here.

Families wishing to appeal an In-Year Transfer decision OR a September 2024 Reception place decision to refer to the two documents below:

 We rely on external bodies of support to make the necessary arrangements for any appeal (both in-year and Reception 2023, 2024 etc.), including administering relevant documentation and assembling an appeals panel. Timelines for appeals can be found above.

Prospective Parents

 Please keep an eye on our website's Home Page where open event dates will be advertised. During the Covid pandemic, such events at the school were limited and we produced the short video prospectus below, which will hopefully also give you a good sense of the school and some assistance in deciding on whether St. Peter's is the right destination for your child. We also encourage you (and your child) to watch the School Tour video on our new-joiners page. Again, this was originally intended for pupils who joined our school in September 2020, but it will give you some idea of the layout of the school.
