Every decision that is taken at Huntingdon Academy is made in the best interests of both children and colleagues. We have the highest of expectations of the children and provide a continuous learning journey for children from three to eleven years old which responds to the their developing and changing needs as they move through the school.
As a result of our high expectations, our children make at least good progress from their starting points and achieve well. The impact of our ambitious curriculum and focus on our children’s personal development results in our children achieving above the national average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. Children leave Huntingdon with the essential skills to enable them to be successful in the next phase of their academic career and in life.
We deliver a curriculum based on important skills in literacy and numeracy, to provide the secure foundation for learning in a wide range of situations. Our curriculum is built for thinking. We understand that being curious is an essential life skill and we craft our curriculum and our lesson design make learning interesting and engaging. Our children enjoy school and have a real enthusiasm for learning. We are an Voice 21 Oracy National Hub School which shows our commitment to the our school value of communication.
Our School Council plays and important role in the day to day running of Huntingdon Academy. Community is such a big part of our school at Huntingdon and one aspect of our school community is our amazing School Council team.
The role of School Council is to be the voice of our Huntingdon pupils. All of our school council members are democratically voted for by their peers to represent their class. It is an important role to hold and involves listening to the ideas of your class, bringing these to the School Council meetings and planning future projects.
Previously, School Council have supported with the smooth running of our very successful parents evenings, Red Nose Day, our talent shows, and Huntingdon Academy’s first Culture Day.
