At Huntington Primary Academy, we believe that education is about developing the whole child – not just what they know, but who they are becoming.

Personal development means helping every pupil grow in confidence, character and wellbeing so they are ready for life beyond the classroom.

Through our curriculum and daily school life, children are supported to:

	Show respect and kindness, treating everyone fairly and valuing difference – every child should feel they belong in our welcoming, inclusive community.
We develop this through: Curriculum knowledge Local experiences Community Links Citizenship British Values Assemblies SMSC Shared experiences Parental Engagement Friends of Huntington Events
	Discover their interests and talents through a wide range of opportunities – we help them to embrace new experiences and find what makes them shine. Develop responsibility and independence, making good choices and contributing positively to others – we embrace opportunities for leadership and teamwork across school life.
We develop this through: Curriculum Experiences Personal Safety Online Safety Performances Sports Teams and Clubs Trips and Visitors Fundraising British Values Assemblies Character Development Active and Healthy learning
	Build confidence and resilience, learning to keep going and grow from mistakes – we encourage every child to persevere and believe in themselves.
We develop this through: Anti-Bullying teaching British Values Assemblies Character Development Friendships PSHE Transition Achievements Economic Educations School rules and culture Curriculum approaches
	Stay healthy and happy, understanding how to care for their bodies and minds – so they can succeed not only in learning but in life.
Success will look different for each child, but we want all our pupils to succeed during their time at Huntington and to leave our school equipped with the knowledge, skills, and values that they need to succeed as individuals, as learners, and as citizens. We believe in supporting personal, physical, emotional and social development, alongside academic aspiration, and strive to promote this throughout the whole curriculum and the enriching extra opportunities we offer. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background or ability. The inclusive, equitable, and supportive environment we are committed to creating sees success for pupils as they leave Huntington to go on to the next step in their journey.

The HPA Experience is the framework detailing the diverse and rich learning opportunities provided to children throughout their time at Huntington.

It organises the many experiences children engage in, such as going on a coach trip, which are strategically aligned with different year groups. The use of color-coded sections indicates the specific year (or year range) during which children participate in these experiences.

Furthermore, the red Hexagons highlight additional, varied experiences available to the children. These activities may be accessed either as part of a whole-school event or on an individual basis, and some are offered as optional opportunities for broader engagement.
