Estcourt Primary Academy is located in East Hull. It is slightly larger than average with 322 pupils on roll, including 25 part time nursery pupils. We celebrate global diversity and equality, as we have a wide range of languages spoken within the academy, we also support many pupils with a wide range of additional needs. We believe that all pupils should be supported to ensure they reach their full potential and we are passionate about ensuring that we meet the needs of the whole child through comprehensive social, emotional and mental health support. We have fantastic relationships with parents and provide a high level of support to some of the most vulnerable families.
In the last inspection (February 2017) Estcourt was rated by Ofsted as a good school. Citing the Academy had ‘created a strong team who wholeheartedly follow the school’s vision of inspiring and empowering others to achieve’. Since then we have continued to raise Academic standards and reached above the National expectation at Key Stage 2 both in 17-18 and 18-19. Through a respect centred curriculum we have also raised social and emotional achievement, which is extremely and equally important to us.
We are very lucky that we are situated in close proximity to three other Delta academies: Craven Primary Academy, Mersey Primary Academy and The Parks Academy. This allows us to work closely together and each academy is committed to learning from each other and sharing best practise. We pride ourselves on the fact that we develop children who are well rounded individuals and achieve some of the highest outcomes in the country.
We have an incredibly caring, passionate and talented staff who are dedicated to ensuring that they provide a positive foundation for each and every child who comes through our doors. We are really proud of Estcourt, our children are amazing and a real pleasure to teach!
