Welcome to our Academy.

Our aim is to do our very best so that that all pupils, regardless of their starting points, reach their full potential.

We are a larger than average primary academy in the East of Hull. The number of pupils eligible for free school meals is above the national average, as is the percentage of pupils with additional needs. We also have over twenty-three languages spoken within the academy! We celebrate and cherish the diversity within our academy.

We are a warm, welcoming, inclusive school. We pride ourselves on the positive relationships we have with our children, families and local community. Recently, we were inspected by Ofsted and received the school’s first ever judgements of Outstanding across across all strands! We are really proud of the journey our school has been on and we are looking forward to continuing our journey.

Here is just a small flavour of just two components which we feel make our academy special: reading, which underpins our curriculum, and perseverance, which underpins our ethos.

Estcourt is a reading academy. Reading is at the heart of everything we do. From early language acquisition to vocabulary enrichment to reading mastery, reading weaves its way through our entire curriculum.

Within EYFS children begin their journey in Nursery developing their pre-phonics skills, in F2 they begin our synthetic phonics programme ‘Essential Letters and Sounds’ where they acquire the basics of decoding (sounding out the word and blending to read.) This is further developed in Year 1 where children are taught more complex sounds. Our academy reading journey spans from Nursery all the way to Year 6. We have lots of additional information about Reading on our subject specific pages.

At Estcourt, expectations are high. Our staff continually promote the highest of standards. Pupils learn to persevere when they find a task challenging. Through perseverance comes a sense of achievement and through achievement comes pride.

Pupils learn about inspirational people who’ve shaped our lives.

Inspirational people like Amy Johnson, Rosa Parks, Ru Paul, Martin Luther-King, Emeline Pankhurst and Captain Tom Moore help our pupils believe that no matter who you are you can achieve greatness.

Our PSHE offer of JIGSAW paired with our enrichment offer of DELTA stars gives the children the opportunities to have a positive impact on the world around them. We believe through our Personal Development Offer and our Thrive Approach children have the opportunity to flourish!

There is lots more information about our academy all over our website, but if there is anything specific you wish to ask, give us a call on 01482 761322 and we will do our best to help.

We look forward to hearing from you.
