I am delighted to introduce you to Sir John Hunt Community Sports College.
As your child embarks upon their progress from primary to secondary school, or indeed moves to a new school, you have to be assured that you are making the right choice.
At Sir John Hunt each child is valued and nurtured. We know all of our students as individuals ensuring they are happy at school, feel safe, enjoy learning, are challenged and make the most of their talents.

The whole of Year 7 were invited to attend the Dick Whittington pantomime on 17th December 2025 as a special end of term reward - oh no they wasn't...oh yes they were! Packed with all the traditional pantomime ingredients the show was bursting with laugh-out-loud comedy, plenty of boos and hisses and lavish sets and costumes. The trip was thoroughly enjoyed by students and staff alike and provided a fantastic way to celebrate the end of a successful term!

Sixth Form students earned praise points for their hard work and top earners enjoyed a well-deserved reward trip of bowling and laser tag. Showing great team spirit and competitiveness before their exams in January-it was a fun experience had by all!

We celebrated our top students' Ambition, Endeavour, and Respect with special breakfasts, an exciting game of laser tag and a fun Christmas party. Their high attendance, punctuality and good conduct were recognized and praised. These rewards were given to show our appreciation for their hard work and dedication. Well done to all the students who earned these rewards!

On 17th December, Year 12 students Caitlyn H, Oscar P, and Oliver M performed songs by Van Morrison, Lana Del Rey, and Radiohead. Their efforts since September shone through. We look forward to their big public performance at Livewire in March 2026!

Year 11 students visited Launchpad Live at the Life Centre to explore post-16 options. They engaged in activities like carpentry, hair styling, virtual welding, and animal care. Miss Cooper is available at lunch and break for career planning.

Sir John Hunt's Young Carers Club is full of fun and creativity! Join us for biscuit-decorating, slime-making, snowman building, and more. We meet every Friday, 3pm-4pm in S011. We'd love to see you there!

Barnardo's Cooking Club, funded by Co-op, offers weekly sessions for Year 7-10 students to boost culinary skills with local ingredients. With 45 students already signed up, it's a great chance to learn and grow. Sessions are every Wednesday after school. For more info or to sign up, contact Mr Beynon, the Enrichment Lead.
