🐾 A very special visitor today! 🐾
Year 2 were delighted to welcome Stubby the dog into school as the exciting hook for their new writing unit on World War One.
Stubby was a real-life war dog who became one of the most famous dogs in history, making him the perfect inspiration for our young writers. The children loved meeting our very own “Stubby” and are now ready to immerse themselves in this incredible story.
We can’t wait to see the fantastic writing this experience inspires! 🐶

Dear YMCA Charity Shop Team,
On behalf of everyone at Huntingdon Academy, we would like to say a huge thank you for your generous donations.
Your support has made a real difference to our OPAL playtimes by providing resources that have inspired imaginative, creative, and active outdoor play for our children. The donated items have been transformed into exciting play opportunities, encouraging teamwork, problem-solving, confidence, and endless creativity.
It has been wonderful to see children using the resources in so many different ways, creating their own games, building, exploring, and making lasting friendships through play. Your kindness has helped us create a richer and more engaging outdoor environment where every child can thrive.
Thank you for supporting our school community and for helping us make play even more meaningful for our pupils. We truly appreciate your generosity and look forward to continuing this wonderful partnership.
With sincere thanks,
The Huntingdon Academy Team

Our Year 2 adventurers got back from their first residential to White Post Farm today! As they walked back through the school gates with their suitcases and sleeping bags in hand, there was such cheerful chatter about their tractor rides, animal encounters and of course, the sleepover! 🐮🚜🌾
A day and night full of exciting experiences, new challenges and unforgettable memories.
