## Recent parent reviews

- **3/5** — Some positives, some room for improvement: We've been at Overton for a year and while we're generally happy with the school, there are a few things that could be improved. The facilities are great, and the staff are friendly, but I've been a bit disappointed with the way the school handles behaviour and discipline. My son has had a few issues with some of the older children being a bit too rowdy in the playground. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — Amazing school - heart of the community: We moved to Overton a year ago and couldn't be happier with our choice of school. The values and ethos are wonderful, and our daughter loves her learning powers and HeartSmart 'High Five' programme. The facilities are fantastic too - we've been impressed by the new playground markings and the all-weather running path. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Still proud of Overton: My children both attended Overton and I was really pleased with the education they received. Our youngest is now in Year 6 and I've been impressed by the way the school has kept up with the latest technology and teaching methods. The music department is also fantastic - my son loved playing in the school band. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful community: We've been at Overton for a year now and I've been blown away by the kindness and support of the whole community. The school's Christian values really shine through in the way the children are encouraged to be kind and respectful to each other. The staff are also fantastic - my daughter's teacher is brilliant and really takes the time to understand each child's needs. *(Mar 2022)*
