Welcome to the HPS website
Huntingdon Primary School opened in January 2009 following the merger of Huntingdon Infant and Junior Schools which had been on the site for just over 40 years. It is situated on the north side of Huntingdon town centre and shares its site with Huntingdon Nursery School. The schools serve an area of predominantly local authority housing on the edge of the Oxmoor Estate and parts of north Huntingdon.
The school is organised into 15 classes. Our accommodation consists of 15 classrooms, a meeting room, staffroom, inclusion room and a nurture room, an ICT Suite, 2 large halls and a separate dining room, food technology room and a planning, preparation and assessment room. The school has extensive grounds which include 3 playgrounds, two of which have their own trim-trail, a large field and garden areas. We have recently completed building work which provides a corridor linking the two sites and a purpose built staff room.
The school has a high number of pupils identified as having Special Education Needs and 18 pupils have a Statement of Special Educational Need. 130 other pupils are on the SEN register. 24% of our pupils are eligible for free school meals.
The school has a dedicated and highly skilled team of teachers and support staff who are positive and totally committed to continued school improvement. There is a “no excuses” culture at this school and we have excellent practice in Assessment for Learning and raising standards of attainment in Literacy and Numeracy.
The Governing Body of Huntingdon Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and require all staff and volunteers to demonstrate this commitment in every aspect of their work.
