"Overton School is truly exceptional!"

My son has been at Overton School for a year now, and the change in him is incredible. The staff are caring, dedicated, and always willing to listen to your concerns. The school's emphasis on inclusivity and compassion aligns perfectly with my values as a parent. I couldn't be more grateful to have found such a wonderful school.

"A school that truly cares"

My daughter attended Overton School for three years, and it was an absolute game-changer for her. The school's focus on providing a bespoke education tailored to each child's needs was exactly what she needed. Although she has since moved on, I still see the incredible progress she made at Overton. The staff are genuinely invested in the well-being and success of the children.

"A school that's still finding its footing"

My son has been at Overton School for a year, and while it's clear that the staff are passionate about providing a supportive environment, I've noticed some inconsistency in the quality of teaching. That being said, the school's emphasis on life experiences and clinical therapy is fantastic, and my son has benefited significantly from these programs. With a bit more refinement, I think Overton School could be truly exceptional.
