Key Stage 2 performance

Overbury CofE First School is a first school for pupils aged 5–10. Pupils move on to a separate junior or middle school before Year 6, so the school does not enter pupils for the Key Stage 2 SATs and has no KS2 results to publish.

This applies to every first school in England — it does not mean data is missing. Ofsted judgements and school information are shown below.

Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2026 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it.

About Overbury CofE First School

Overbury CofE First School is a primary school in Tewkesbury, Worcestershire, classified by the DfE as a voluntary controlled school with a Church of England religious character. Around 81 pupils aged 5 to 10 attend the school.

Overbury CofE First School is oversubscribed: about 8 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 18 first choices for 15 places. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 2.37 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 4.7%. There are about 19.8 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 2% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Overbury CofE First School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
