About Us

Welcome

I am privileged and proud to hold the Headship of Jack Hunt School and I am delighted to welcome you to our school.

We are a vibrant, multi-cultural, mixed, 11-19 comprehensive school which has achieved much over the years.

Since April 2018 we have been one of the 5 founding schools in the Peterborough Keys Academies Trust, along with Middleton Primary School, Longthorpe Primary School, Ravensthorpe Primary School and Thorpe Primary School. As a locally based Trust, with all 5 schools in walking distance from the others, we are focused on improving the outcomes for our students and families in this area of Peterborough.

Our Trust Principles are:

Personal Best:

  • We challenge, support and inspire each other and ourselves to achieve our Personal Best.
  • We take pride in ourselves and our schools as we confidently take responsibility for our behaviours to achieve our dreams and aspirations.
  • We are self-aware learners who take care of our physical and mental well-being.

Leadership:

  • We form positive relationships and grow ourselves as leaders.
  • Our leadership skills will have a positive impact on others.
  • Our leadership skills are transferrable to the next stage of our learning and beyond.

Learning:

  • We collaborate to create deep, independent, curious and resilient learners.
  • We acquire, apply and retain powerful and essential knowledge and skills which we are able to transfer and use across our lives.
  • We are citizens who have been introduced to the best that has been thought and said, and appreciate human creativity and achievement.

  • Community:

  • We are caring citizens who want to make a positive impact within our local and global communities.
  • We inform and engage our parents and carers in the learning journey of their children and support them to meet challenges.
  • Our belief in 'being different and belonging together' enables us to succeed in our diverse and modern world.

Opportunity:

  • We make the most of every opportunity open to us.
  • We recognise that the opportunities offered in and beyond the classroom broaden and enrich us.
  • Our participation in the opportunities offered build our cultural capital needed to succeed in life.

Most importantly, we are extremely proud of our students and committed to meeting their needs. Our well-qualified and dedicated teaching and support staff have high aspirations for, and high expectations of, every single student. We want our students to be well-rounded, confident, caring young people with leadership skills, who are motivated to achieve their best; are fully involved in the school, local and global community and leave us as life-long learners equipped to build on their success and contribute positively to our future.
