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.
History
The school opened as a technical school in 1959, and it was named after the weaver and textile designer Alec Hunter (died 1958).
