Alec Hunter Academy is one year old this week.  Alec Hunter Humanities College converted to its new status on 1st April 2013 under the sponsorship of the Saffron Academy Trust and, in the past 12 months, we have seen the ‘new’ school flourish through this partnership:

Every half term, teachers plan new activities away from the normal timetable to enhance students’ knowledge on other subjects, and vary their learning experiences. Our students enjoyed another eventful Skills Day on Monday 17th March.

Dear Year 8 Parents, We have pleasure in inviting you to Parents’ Evening on Thursday 3 April 2014 from 4.30 – 7.30 pm.

The evening is designed to enable you to speak to all of your child's subject teachers, so that you can discuss their progress since the start of Year 8.  We feel the evening will be most beneficial if your child attends with you, so that they can be involved in the meetings.

Elliot Goddard had a day to remember on Sunday 9th March when he stood on the famous pitch at Twickenham before the RBS 6 Nations England v Wales match, proudly wearing Alec Hunters new rugby shirt as he sang the National Anthem.

In July 2014 17 students are flying off to Uzbekistan on our latest World Challenge adventure. We will be helping a local community milk goats, fetch water and complete various tasks around the village. In total they need to raise £40,000. 

We have spent two mornings at Marks Farm Tesco and raised over £1100. Our students were an absolute credit to the school, they were polite, helpful and showed real enthusiasm for their task and talking to members of the public about their upcoming expedition.
