Huntingdon Academy has oracy at the forefront of its philosophy as we believe that spoken communication is vital to success in life. Our vision is to empower all our stakeholders to grow and reach their potential and we have a motivated, kind and ambitious team that adopt a relentless pursuit of best practice.
Our Academy vision, values and curriculum drivers are embedded in all our work. We teach our children they have a voice that matters. We have a bespoke curriculum, with reading at its core. Our curriculum is relevant, purposeful, and engaging to ensure our children are invested in their learning. We believe in active, participative learning which leads to a vibrant and exciting learning environment.
Children that attend Huntingdon Academy leave their primary education with strong emotional intelligence and communication skills. Our pupils transition to secondary school with a positive attitude to learning and are ambitious for their future.
All children are challenged, nurtured and inspired to achieve highly and make a positive contribution to society.
Our experienced Early Years team provide a warm, nurturing environment where children grow in confidence and develop essential communication, social, emotional and early learning skills.
With a rich curriculum including literacy, maths, creativity and understanding the world around them, your child has the opportunity to thrive from their very first day.
Apply now for September 2026 – our Early Years Team look forward to welcoming you.
At Huntingdon Academy our morning and afternoon nursery sessions give children a joyful and nurturing start to their learning journey. Children enjoy focused activities, shared story time and plenty of imaginative play in our spacious early years playground.
We offer both 15-hour and 30-hour funded nursery places, making high-quality early education accessible for families.
