Every child who put Overton Grange School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

In the most recent GCSE results, pupils achieved an average Attainment 8 score of 46.8, broadly in line with the national average of 46. Results have held broadly steady on the previous year.

36% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, below the national average of about 45%. 65% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. Overton Grange School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 40 families who put it first were offered a place. After Year 11, 96% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 9.6%. There are about 15.5 pupils per teacher. Overton Grange 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.
