The school is within walking distance of Sydney's CBD as well as many educational resources such as the Powerhouse Museum, Aquarium and Maritime Museum.

Staff members work with commitment and professionalism to deliver a balanced learning program, with an emphasis on literacy, numeracy and technology. The school also delivers strong programs in creative arts and has a strong choir and band program. Mandarin community language is also taught at the school. Ultimo Public School strives to be at the cutting edge of educational innovation by forming deep partnerships with local universities. It also enjoys close links to local community groups.
