ESCO's aims are:

- To help children develop new skills and interests
- To raise children’s self-esteem and confidence
- To help children make new friends from other schools, which may help their transition to secondary school
- To promote links with schools during holiday periods
- To encourage children to try new activities that may become long-term hobbies
Activities are open to children aged 5-11 years. They usually run from 9am until 3.30pm. The children will need to bring drinks and a packed lunch. Lunches must not contain any nuts.
