Overton Grange School Reviews

I am thankful that my children have already left the school as I have not heard many good things in recent years about the school. I am grateful that one of my children eventually left the school and started at another school nearby. It was a good decision it was a really positive move for them
SLT seem more concerned with chasing their own personal kudos than actually improving standards amongst staff and students. This has led to the low morale of staff and poor behaviour of students. No wonder grades have declined significantly over the last 5 years.
horrible school doesn’t take bullying or mental health seriously they do not try to help in slightest way possible
