Alec Hunter Academy (formerly The Alec Hunter County Secondary School for Boys and Girls, Alec Hunter Comprehensive School, Alec Hunter High School and Alec Hunter Humanities College) is a secondary school with academy status located in East Braintree, Essex, England.
The school opened as a technical school in 1959, and it was named after the weaver and textile designer Alec Hunter (died 1958). It had become a humanities college by 2009, when the school celebrated its 50th anniversary. [1] In that year, local historian David Possee was writing a book on the history of the school when he died; [2] however Braintree Museum hosted an exhibition about the school. [1] In 2013 the school converted to an Academy by joining Saffron Academy Trust and is now part of a group of schools/academies, Saffron Academy Trust.
As of 2021, the school's most recent Ofsted judgement was in 2017, when it was judged Good overall. [3]
