Vision and Values
Our Vision
Through our core Christian values of Love, Trust and Forgiveness, we celebrate, nurture and challenge each unique child in order that they are inspired by the world around them, have confidence to believe in themselves and in others and achieve the best they possibly can. Everyone at Bitterne CE Primary is determined to ensure that each child is safe, happy and learning well, without exception.
Our Christian Values
Love, trust, and forgiveness are the cornerstones of our school's ethos.
We strive to create a loving and inclusive environment where every child feels valued, respected, and supported. Through acts of kindness, compassion, and empathy, we teach our children the importance of love in building strong relationships and fostering a sense of belonging.
Trust is at the heart of our school community. We believe in the power of trust to create a safe and nurturing environment for learning and personal growth. By fostering trusting relationships between children, staff, parents, and the wider community, we create a strong foundation for collaboration, open communication, and mutual respect.
Forgiveness is a fundamental Christian value that we embrace wholeheartedly. We understand that making mistakes is a part of life, and we teach our children the importance of forgiveness in healing and restoring relationships. Through forgiveness, we encourage them to learn from their mistakes, to seek reconciliation, and to grow into compassionate and understanding individuals.
School of Sanctuary
At Bitterne Primary, we are proud to be recognised as a School of Sanctuary, a place where everyone feels safe, valued, and included. This means we are committed to fostering a welcoming environment for all, especially those seeking refuge from difficult circumstances. We celebrate diversity and actively promote understanding, kindness, and compassion among our pupils, staff, and wider community. Our school provides opportunities to learn about different cultures and experiences, encouraging empathy and respect for others. As a School of Sanctuary, we work to ensure that everyone, regardless of their background, feels a strong sense of belonging. Through tailored support, inclusive practices, and a focus on well-being, we strive to remove barriers and help every child thrive. Together, we create a positive, nurturing space where everyone can grow, learn, and succeed as part of a united and caring school community.
