Our School
A warm welcome to Huntley School, an outstanding independent school for boys aged 9 to 13 years. Founded in 1896 Huntley is the oldest preparatory boys' boarding and day school in New Zealand. With a current roll of 157 boys, 110 of whom are boarders, Huntley has the largest number of preparatory school boarders in New Zealand.
We are the preparatory boys' boarding school specialists. If you are considering preparatory boarding for your son, Huntley is where he needs to be. In 2008 we have finished our four year building project and refurbishment of the school.
For the first fifty-seven years of its existence Huntley was privately owned by successive Headmasters, until a Trust Board was formed in 1954 to purchase and administer the school. The school is located on thirteen hectares of beautifully landscaped grounds situated on the outskirts of Marton in the Rangitikei District of the North Island.
Huntley provides boys with the opportunity to try a great variety of activities. As a result of these challenging and enriching experiences:
Huntley boys have the confidence to:
- Make friends
- Work hard
- Play and simply enjoy being boys
- Try something different
- Be a tall poppy
Prospectus

Day in the life
I wake to the sound of the Duty Master ringing the bell; it is 6:50 am. I hop out of bed waiting for the Duty Master to tell us to carry on. After making my bed our dorm heads down for showers.

Culturally
The cultural richness at Huntley is apparent from the outset. Music, Drama and The Arts are celebrated by boys and staff alike. A staggering statistic is the fact that over 70% of the boys learn musical instruments and the school employs five music teachers.

Socially
It is the friendships one makes in a boarding school that last for a life time. Huntley is recognised for the pastoral care it provides for students. Our godfathers/godsons programme ensures your son will have a senior boy as a guide who will help make the transition into Huntley as enjoyable as possible.
