A warm welcome to Francis Askew Primary School
At Francis Askew Primary School we make a positive difference to every child. Working together with parents, families and the community we create a positive, calm and nurturing environment where all members of the school community feel safe, valued and respected.
Our curriculum nurtures curiosity, builds resilience, fosters independence and encourages children to aim high in all that they do. We provide our children with wide ranging, enriching experiences, both in and out of school, and place a high value on developing and nurturing the whole child.
We ensure that children’s individual talents are celebrated and fostered in all areas of school life. We strongly believe in providing a high quality, holistic education, one which inspires a love of learning and equips our children with the skills they need for the future.
Visits to our school are warmly welcomed. We are very proud of our school and the positive difference we make to our children and families. We look forward to welcoming you and your child into our community.

We All Shine Brighter Together
Our Trust includes primary, secondary and an alternative provision school working together to provide the best learning opportunities for the pupils within our network of schools.
Each school serves its own community and has its own unique identity. Together we benefit from working in partnership, share good practice and have a joint central service support team.

“Pupils are happy and safe at Francis Askew Primary School, where high expectations and a strong values-led culture help every child to thrive.”

“Teachers have high aspirations for all pupils, who respond with motivation, respect, and a love of learning across a wide range of subjects.”

“Children enjoy imaginative and purposeful play, from balancing on beams to building dens—developing teamwork, curiosity and confidence.”

“The carefully sequenced curriculum breaks learning into small steps, helping pupils to build strong knowledge and succeed in subjects like science and art.”

“Phonics is taught with consistency and care, enabling all pupils to become fluent readers with access to books that match the sounds they’ve learned.”

“SEND provision is inclusive and effective, with tailored resources and perceptive teaching that builds pupils’ confidence and independence.”

“Reading is celebrated through clubs, assemblies and class storytime—fostering a whole-school love of books and language.”

It is that time of the year again. The annual Hull Active Schools Cross Country competition. After a wet start to the day, the sun brightened this afternoon so spirits were high, heading into healthy competition and long distance running.
All the children competed well, sharing successes and celebrating achievements. They showed resilience and desire with some children looking to better their position from the previous year (and succeeding). A special mention goes to Forrest who came 2nd in the year 3/4 boys race!
