"Great Education, Could Improve Communication"

We were happy with the education our child received at Overdale Junior School, and the values of respect, resilience, and responsibility were clearly instilled. However, we felt that communication between staff and parents could be improved. Overall, we had a positive experience and would recommend the school.
