Huntley aims at producing holistic boys who have developed independence in many facets during their time at Huntley. The Huntley boy is respectful, yet willing to take risks, self confident but without arrogance. He had the ability to set and achieve goals by focusing on tasks and applying skills of time management.

The Huntley boy celebrates the achievements of his peers whether academic, sporting or in a cultural setting. He learns the social skills of living in a tight-knit community. He recognises the benefits of working as a group whilst celebrating individual differences. The boys realise that each individual brings his own unique strengths and that acknowledging these talents is mandatory. Being a ?Tall Poppy? is something to aspire to.

Pastoral Care for each boy is the highest priority at Huntley. The Form Teachers are at the heart of the pastoral care arrangements of Huntley. Day Boys are fully involved in this system. We provide a safe and stable environment where boys grow into young men free from pressures that other schools and modern society can impose. We provide boys with guidance and support, ?to develop independent attitudes and to stand on their own two feet?. Huntley surrounds the boys in opportunities that will enable every boy to succeed. These opportunities help develop personal interests and friendships which last way beyond their time at Huntley.

There is an extremely healthy and positive atmosphere about the school. Good manners are encouraged at all times. The emphasis is on setting high expectations and standards. The Huntley boy is incredibly proud of his school, whilst at Huntley and years after he has left.
