What people say about us…

“

My son has attended Overton for the past 12 months the change in him has been remarkable. His self-confidence is at a all-time high and he is extremely happy and settled here. The school have worked closely with our family to ensure he is getting the most out of his education. As a parent I can’t recommend Overton highly enough.

“

This has been so far the best school ever and it’s been lovely not to get daily phone calls about Jack and his behaviour – as he truly couldn’t cope with mainstream school. It has been stress free for us as his parents and it’s been brilliant to be told that he is an amazing child and doing so well (as our son is an amazing kid and deserves the best) at school.

”

Parent

“

My son has never been happy to go to school, not even nursery school, but he absolutely loves going to Overton. His behaviour at home has also improved due to him being happy during the day. I cannot say how very thankful I am that he was accepted to Overton.

”

Parent

“

Pupils at Overton School form trusting relationships with staff. They feel safe. Staff
are caring and kind. They take the time to get to know their pupils well. They pay
serious attention to meeting pupils’ individual needs, and to their wishes and
feelings. This all helps pupils to enjoy school and achieve well.
