Pupil Parliament
Our Pupil Parliament has a very important role within school, representing the view and voice of each class constituency. They will help vote on important issues and discuss these with our senior leadership team. We are dedicated to making improvements within our school and local community. Here at Bitterne Park Primary & Nursery School, we are incredibly proud of our Pupil Parliament team. Representatives are elected annually from each class across the school. Candidates for Pupil Parliament apply and prepare a manifesto on why they believe that their attributes best fit the role of a Pupil Parliament representative. Over the year, children across the school will be thinking and discussing about how they would make our school a better place and how this contributes to being ‘An architect of a better world’.
We understand the role of a Pupil Parliament Representative involves:
Setting a good example to others in and around our school
Being an incredible role model to others
Attending regular meetings
Encouraging other pupils to use their voice and share their ideas
Listening to our peers and ensuring everyone is heard
Being brave and using our voice in a large group setting
Explaining why Pupil Parliament have made decisions and what the impact of these decisions are
Continuously reflecting and refining on how we hold discussions to ensure everyone is heard and feels valued
Ensuring we consider all pros and cons when making decisions; so that decisions are fair and have a positive impact on many.

E-Safety
Always be careful when you are using the internet. It can help you to keep in touch with your friends and help your education – but it can also cause harm – to you and to others.
Remember help is always available at school if you are having any problems online.
Don’t be afraid to talk to your teacher or another adult at school.

School of Sanctuary
Everybody is welcome at Bitterne Park Primary School.
Bitterne Park are proud to have achieved a “School of Sanctuary Award!”
We are so pleased that The Schools of Sanctuary awarding panel have recognised what a welcoming and special place Bitterne Park is.
Achieving School of Sanctuary status is a rigorous process which acknowledges the school’s commitment to embracing values that are seated in equal worth of all. This has taken all of the school community on a journey, focussing on supporting local basic needs, discussions and action around the need to spread opportunity and life chances and finally, to target and challenge unjustified inequalities. Pupils and staff at Bitterne Park have worked tirelessly to ensure our school community is a safe, warm and welcoming haven for all, where learners thrive.
As part of their work towards the award, pupils have learned more sanctuary for those at home and across the globe. They have learned about the plight of refugees and asylum seekers around the world. Our children are united in their aim to ensure that our school is a place of refuge for all those in need.
Our work is strongly underpinned by TAEES (Trauma and Attachment Educationally Embedded Schools), a five-year project focused on developing a whole-school culture of belonging, inclusion and understanding.
Through this journey, we are continually reflecting on and strengthening our practice to ensure that everyone in our school community feels welcomed, celebrated, valued and a true sense of belonging. We want every child and adult to know that they matter.We are proud to introduce our Sanctuary Ambassadors from Years 1 to 6.
