Student Profiles EMILY MOULD I stayed at Huntington for Sixth Form after completing my GCSEs to study Biology, Chemistry, Maths and History. I knew I didn’t want to go anywhere else because I was familiar with the teaching style and as a result I knew that the quality of teaching would be really high. Studying science subjects, I was looking for somewhere with excellent laboratory facilities, and the ones at Huntington are outstanding. A massive advantage of Huntington is that it has the Personal Development Programme on Wednesday afternoons, which has enabled me to work as a volunteer in a hospital pharmacy, and has been extremely useful in helping me decide what to study at university. I am currently applying to study Natural Sciences at Cambridge University and the school have been incredibly supportive in helping me achieve my ambition.
JOHN TUFFEN I joined Huntington Sixth Form from the Vale of York Academy as I already knew a couple of people who went here who had said that the teaching was excellent. Currently, I am studying Music, Maths and History. I really enjoy all of these subjects, and the teachers are fantastic at making things really clear. One of my favourite aspects of Huntington is the extra-curricular activities, especially in the Music department. There are loads of choirs and bands for all skill levels, and they are all really fun. The Personal Development Programme is also a definite highlight. One of my favourites has been taking part in the Pantomime band. This helped to develop my teamwork and confidence, and was a fantastic experience from start to finish. I have enjoyed every single second of Sixth Form so far, and I believe that I definitely made the right decision in coming here.
ROSALIND COOPER I joined Huntington Sixth Form from the Mount School in York to study Spanish, History and Geography. It was a big change, but definitely the right decision for me. Everyone has been so welcoming, particularly the music department, which is a thriving part of the school community. The teachers are very supportive and always encourage us to reach our full potential academically. There is also a strong sense of fun in the Sixth Form - the Christmas panto was a real highlight of my year and just one of the many extracurricular opportunities that Huntington offers.
