At Francis Askew we work together to make a positive difference to every child.
Online Safety
We have a dedicated webpage that shows a wide selection of advice for children, parents and carers on the safe use of technology and the internet.
“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.”
“In early years, children use newly learned vocabulary during rich, creative play, showing strong concentration and collaboration from an early age.”
“Pupils respect differences, learn about world religions, and understand the importance of being active, healthy and kind.”
“Leaders are ambitious, reflective, and committed to improving outcomes for every child, supported by staff who feel valued and well led.”

What a fantastic first day our Year 6s have had at PGL! 💙
They’ve thrown themselves into the activities, tackling the crate challenge, climbing, working together and stepping outside their comfort zones. There have been plenty of smiles, laughter, a few nerves overcome and lots of encouragement along the way!
It’s been lovely to see them supporting one another, showing resilience and making memories together. So many opportunities to demonstrate our REACH values in action! 🌟
We’re incredibly proud of them all and can’t wait to see what the rest of the week brings.
Here’s to more adventures, new challenges and making memories that will last a lifetime! 💙
