Happy holidays to the whole Alec Hunter community and all our followers. Thanks for another year of huge support, helping us to keep making progress. Now is the time to relax!

Please see below details of the Careers Fair taking place tomorrow. Many exhibitors in attendance and a great chance to get some info and ask lots of questions. All welcome! #YourYearYourFuture

A fantastic turnout today for the headteachers' march to Downing Street, showing the strength of feeling against cuts in #education #funding #SchoolCuts @WorthLessWS #StillNotListening

Thousands of Heads here in Parliament Square, fighting for a better deal for our young people. The only demonstration ever where there will be less litter afterwards than before it began! #relentlesslyreasonable #worthless

Proud to be standing shoulder-to-shoulder with you, Caroline. #stillnotlistening

Today is World Teachers Day, so if you wish to #ThankATeacher from our wonderful team, please do so either by replying to this post or, more formally, by visiting teachingawards.com/thankyou. Every teacher mentioned receives a card of thanks in the post.

Some fantastic advice to parents (and a catchy song too!) if you are concerned about your child spending too long playing Fortnite. Really worth a listen.

Just a reminder that school is closed to students tomorrow. We are excited to welcome all our primary colleagues and Behaviour Buddy Robin Launder to our 5th Annual Alec Hunter Cluster Conference, focussing on memory skills. Should be a ‘memorable’ day.

The whole town out in force today to pay their respects to the fallen at this special centenary Remembrance Parade. Head Boy Frank Carroll and Head Girl Emily Windle laid 2 wreaths on behalf of all at AHA and it was great to see many other students in attendance. #ArmisticeDay100

Fantastic to have so many brilliant young chefs at AHA this morning for the TANGO Masterchef Final. Congrats to overall winner Maisie Speller and many thanks to The Chophouse in Braintree for their generous donation of a complimentary meal as first prize.

Our wonderful new lecture theatre and state-of-the-art science lab will be ready for use when we return for the start of term. Thanks to ArcherBCLtd, Leary Brothers Ltd. and most of all to Essex County Council for providing the funding to make this possible. Superb facility for AHA.

Thanks to all staff and students for your phenomenal efforts at our Open Morning today, but an even bigger ‘thank you’ to everyone who came along. Hope you enjoyed the Alec Hunter experience - looking forward to welcoming you in September 2020! 😁😁

Great to see the whole town pay their respects at the Remembrance Day Parade today. Thanks also to Ciara and Hayden for laying a wreath on behalf of the whole Alec Hunter community. #LestWeForget

Many thanks to thisisNAMASTE for giving such an inspirational performance to our Year 10s this afternoon... and for coping with some ‘interesting’ backing dancers! You were ‘exactly what (we) want(ed)’. All the best! 👍😁

It was a pleasure to welcome such a vibrant and curious group of trainees from @MidEssexITT and to showcase our school. They will make great additions to our wonderful profession.

Heartwize Essex Lead Instructor Roy Tyzack & volunteers trained Yr 10 pupils at Alec Hunter Academy yesterday and were impressed by the pupils excellent behaviour and attitude to learning lifesaving skills. Well done! 👏👍#SADSAwareness Alec Hunter Academy @HeartwizeE EEAST Ambulance Service

Great to have Alec Hunter Academy represented at the Remembrance Day Parade by our senior student leaders, Grace and Jack, and to see so many Alec students past and present in attendance. #WeWillRememberThem

A shame that today was the last of our World Cup lunchtimes. Students have been fabulous and the atmosphere in the Main Hall electric - even for Tunisia v Denmark! We will miss it.

Congratulations to superstar public speaker Annie Gill on a fabulous performance at tonight’s Jack Petchey Speak Out Challenge Regional Final, earning a well deserved 3rd place for Alec Hunter. Great job, Annie!

Staff celebrated World Book Day UK 📚 this year by dressing up as their favourite book character, much to the delight of students! A huge effort was made by all, and there was even a giant cockroach! #WorldBookDay2024 For more photos visit alechunter.org/gallery/?pid=3…
