What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 May 2025
Pupils are proud to attend Bitterne Park Primary School. They enjoy learning and achieve highly because of the very ambitious curriculum which is expertly taught. Staff form strong relationships with pupils. Pupils know that if they have any concerns, there is always an adult who will help. This helps them to feel safe. Pupils' behaviour is excellent. They learn how to communicate well and how to follow clear and consistent routines, right from when they join in the early years. Pupils are polite and friendly, and increasingly independent. Pupils enjoy helping each other and making sure that everyone is included. 'Sanctuary ambassadors' welcome newcomers to the school, because they want everyone to feel happy and safe. Pupils strive eagerly to embody the school's vision for children to be 'architects of a better world'. They think carefully about how they can make a real and meaningful difference in their school, community and the wider world. Pupils passionately take on local causes, such as campaigning to improve the quality of the water in the local river. Pupils benefit from participating in a range of well-considered clubs, trips and community activities. Singing club is especially popular, as are days when the whole school and their families join together for a day of gardening.
