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.”
One of the most moving moments of our Remembrance Service this morning was hearing Mrs Orr from Hull Music Service play The Last Post live.
It was an incredibly special moment, giving us all the opportunity to pause, reflect and remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
We are so grateful to Mrs Orr for helping to make our service so memorable. It truly made the occasion even more meaningful for our children and staff.
We will remember them.

❤️ Remembrance Day 2026 🌺
This morning, our Francis Askew Family came together for a very special Remembrance Service.
Our children showed incredible respect and maturity as we took time to remember all those who have served, sacrificed and lost their lives in conflicts past and present, and those who continue to serve today.
Through poetry, readings, artwork and reflection, our children helped us to understand the importance of remembrance and why we must never forget.
We are incredibly proud of all the children who contributed to the service, sharing their work and helping to make it such a meaningful occasion. A special thank you to everyone who helped prepare and organise the service.
At the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we remember.
We will remember them. ❤️🌺

We are looking for donations of loose parts and play resources that can be used to enhance our children's outdoor play experiences. Items might include things such as tyres, pots and pans, dressing-up clothes, tubing, crates, small world toys, buckets, guttering, and other clean, safe resources that children can use creatively during play.
To make it even more exciting, every class that brings in donations will receive rewards once they have a line full on the bingo card. The more donations a class receives, the more chances they have of completing their OPAL Bingo board!
