HEADTEACHER'S WELCOME
Welcome to Jack Hunt Academy. At JHA, we have a strong ethos centered on the belief that every student has the right to a first-class education, and we consistently promote high expectations for all our students. We want all our learners to leave JHA well-educated; of good character; and ready for ambitious next steps.
Our core values are:
- Hard Work
- Integrity
- Kindness
Jack Hunt Academy is a vibrant place of learning, underpinned by expert teaching of a challenging and broad curriculum. We provide high levels of pastoral care and support via our pastoral teams led by our Heads of Year, as well as a comprehensive PSHE programme.
We think that enrichment opportunities are important for all students, and our offer in this area is extensive. We believe in high standards of behaviour and conduct, and our academy is a happy and calm place to learn. We are a diverse and inclusive academy, and we are committed to comprehensive education.
Academic success is very important to us, and we have a strong track record. Our students achieve well and many progress into our successful and flourishing Sixth Form. Our students have strong destinations after leaving Jack Hunt Academy. However, academic success is only part of our purpose. We also provide excellence in music, drama, sport, and the arts and we value all practical and creative pursuits. We also develop the qualities that are important in any young person such as self-reliance, courtesy, respect, initiative, and determination.
We are an outward facing school. We are proud to belong to Keys Academies Trust, and this gives us the opportunity to collaborate with other schools. We also work with an extensive network of education providers, businesses, and charities. These networks allow us to offer our students a rich blend of opportunities.
