A happy and vibrant school, Huntington Primary Academy is located in a village setting, on the outskirts of the historic City of York. A large academy, we have 420 on roll and a two form intake.

We have a strong vision and strong values and there is an expectation every child in our school reach their full potential, develop confidence, skills and talents to their maximum, and have a sense of self-worth and belonging within our community.

We work together to provide a learning environment that is interesting, happy and safe, where we achieve high standards of work and behaviour, Consider And Respect Everyone (CARE), help each other and build our confidence and believe in ourselves. Our good community links help to strengthen curriculum opportunities for pupils including Holly’s partnership, young leaders’ award, arts award and choir singing in the Minster.

We are looking for a proven leader with the ability to inspire others, raise aspirations throughout the community and ensure the school’s ethos is maintained. As well as shaping our improvement plan, you’ll ensure the highest levels of achievement, including moving us from Good to Outstanding.

To be successful, you must have the ability to influence and strengthen partnerships and the vision to develop the current SAT to its full potential while assessing options for the formation of a MAT.

Visible and approachable, you must have the ability to motivate, challenge and support as well as the determination to drive school improvement and deliver change. We think this is an outstanding and unique opportunity to shape the future of our school. If you feel this is a challenge you would relish, we would love to hear from you.
