At Huntingdon Academy, we believe that when our staff grow, our whole school thrives.
Coaching is available to colleagues at every level and in every role, providing a supportive, personalised opportunity for professional and personal growth.
Through purposeful conversations with a trained coach, colleagues develop greater self-awareness, confidence, resilience and the skills to overcome challenges and achieve their goals.
Aligned with our vision of ‘Individual Growth, Empowerment for All,’ coaching is a powerful form of professional development that empowers colleagues to reflect, flourish and unlock their full potential.
At Huntingdon Academy, we believe exceptional teams are built through trust, collaboration and a shared commitment to excellence.
Our approach to team coaching creates opportunities for colleagues to reflect, strengthen relationships, embrace innovative thinking and develop a deeper understanding of their individual and collective strengths.
Through our three-step colleague meeting cycle, which incorporates coaching, we empower teams to work effectively, support one another and continually improve their practice.
By investing in our people, we strengthen our teams and ultimately create the very best outcomes for our children.
At Huntingdon Academy, we believe great leaders are developed, nurtured and empowered.
Our leadership development opportunities support colleagues taking their first steps into leadership, helping them build confidence, deepen self-awareness and recognise their unique strengths.
Through personalised coaching, reflection and professional development, we empower aspiring leaders to understand their values, develop their leadership identity and inspire others.
We don’t just develop leaders for today – we nurture the inspirational leaders of tomorrow.
At Huntingdon Academy, we are committed to developing exceptional teachers through high-quality mentoring, coaching and professional learning.
Our approach is informed by Jim Knight’s Impact Cycle, encouraging teachers to reflect on their practice, identify meaningful goals and continually refine their teaching.
We are proud of the coaching expertise within our leadership team. Mrs Riley holds a Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) in Business and Personal Coaching and is a qualified Team Coaching Practitioner, while Miss Forrest and Miss Lees have recently completed Instructional Coaching training with L.E.A.D. Academy Trust.
We place particular importance on supporting Early Career Teachers through skilled mentoring, personalised guidance and opportunities for professional growth.
Our belief is simple: when teachers thrive, children flourish.
At Huntingdon Academy, we believe that a positive, nurturing and inclusive culture is the foundation for everyone to thrive.
Our four core values – Listening, Thinking, Communication and Collaboration – unite pupils, staff and families, creating a shared sense of belonging, respect and purpose.
Through strong relationships, mutual trust and a commitment to personal growth, we foster an environment where everyone feels valued, supported and empowered to be their very best.
At Huntingdon Academy, we believe outstanding leadership is built on collaboration, reflection and empowerment. We value the expertise of every colleague and encourage shared decision-making, ensuring those closest to our children have a meaningful voice.
We recognise that effective leadership is not one-size-fits-all. By understanding and adapting different leadership styles, we create a culture of trust, professional growth and collective responsibility.
The six leadership styles illustrated below help inform our approach, enabling us to lead with purpose, respond to different situations and achieve the very best outcomes for our children.
At Huntingdon Academy, our values are not just something we teach – they are something we live.
Listening, Thinking, Communication and Collaboration underpin our relationships, professional practice and everyday interactions. They guide how we support one another, make decisions, embrace challenges and continuously strive for excellence.
By modelling our values, we create a positive, empowering culture where colleagues feel valued, relationships flourish and our children thrive.
