Spark curiosity. Build belief. Expand horizons.

At Bitterne Manor, we want every child to be curious about the world, confident in themselves and excited by what their future might hold.

We spark curiosity by creating a rich and ambitious education that encourages children to question, explore, discover and want to know more. We believe that learning should open up the world and that knowledge gives children the power to understand it.

We build belief by helping every child recognise their strengths and understand that success comes through effort, courage and perseverance. We set high expectations, celebrate progress and teach children to believe that they are capable of more than they may first imagine.

We expand horizons by opening children’s eyes to new ideas, experiences, people and possibilities. We want them to look beyond what they already know, develop ambition for themselves and leave us with a genuine sense of hope and possibility for the future.
