From the Winhills Primary Academy
to make it possible for each kid to fulfil their potential in a setting that values education, respect, accountability, humour, and friendship. I am the Executive Headteacher for Winhills Primary Academy, Middlefield Primary Academy, The Round House Primary Academy, Kimbolton Primary Academy and Great Staughton Primary Academy. I am really proud of this institution and the advancements made since Winhills joined The Diamond Learning Partnership Trust. Children learn at different rates and in different ways, in my opinion. Parental involvement and support are crucial for optimal learning in a joyful, secure environment. Children like to know that they are accepted for who they are and not for what they can achieve and I firmly believe we must PRAISE THEIR EFFORTS, NOT THEIR RESULTS!. We are working to provide the finest care possible for the kids in our care at Winhills Primary Academy, which is a school that is steadily improving. I'm hoping you'll join us in making this school the wonderful institution I know it can be. We sincerely hope you enjoy browsing our website and discover any information you're looking for. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the school or leave comments in the guestbook.
