History

The school opened in September 1966 and became a comprehensive school in September 1973. The school's application to become a Specialist Technology college was granted in 1997.

Transport

Due to its size, of approximately 1500 students, the school operates a contracted bus system with City of York Council and Stephenson's, which provides free transport (with a purchased pass, so technically it's not free) for some of the outlying villages in Huntington's catchment area, such as Strensall and Flaxton.

Notable former pupils

  • Journalist and Guardian columnist Oliver Burkeman
  • Commentator Guy Mowbray
  • Shed Seven members Rick Witter, Paul Banks and Tom Gladwin
  • Actor Daniel Weyman
