All children are challenged, nurtured and inspired to achieve highly and make a positive contribution to society.

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.

📸 Photography Club is in full focus! 📸
Our budding photographers have been busy learning some fantastic new skills! Today, the children explored positive and negative space, practised taking high and low-angle shots, and experimented with framing their photographs. ✨
We loved seeing their creativity shine through as they began looking at the world from a photographer’s point of view! 👀📷

✨ Maths in action in Year 2!
Our Year 2 mathematicians have been getting hands-on with their learning, using a range of manipulatives to explore numbers, make connections and explain their thinking.
At Huntingdon, we know that maths is about more than finding the answer – it’s about seeing it, building it, talking about it and understanding why!
