About Overleigh St Mary's Church of England Primary School

Hello and welcome to the Overleigh St. Mary's CE Primary School. We are extremely proud of our school and the achievements of all our pupils and hope when you explore our website that you gain some insight into all of our successes.

At Overleigh St Mary’s our vision Love God, Love Ourselves, Love People flows through everything we do. we. We expect all members of our Overleigh family to develop positive and respectful relationships, and to be aspirational for themselves and for everyone in our community. Our school is an inclusive, safe, happy, harmonious and supportive environment where all can thrive. We ensure a caring and empathetic ethos where children, families and the community are known, welcomed and valued as individuals and are at the centre of all we do. Celebration of diversity is in the very fabric of our school and creates a wonderful environment where we can all learn from each other. These are the Christian foundations on which our curriculum choices are rooted, underpinned by our values, informing the experience of all. Throughout their time with us, we equip our children with the necessary skills, attitudes and knowledge empowering them to make a positive contribution and navigate the next phase of their life journey. 

From the warmth felt with those tentative first steps into our Nursery class all the way through to the confidence with which our children stride out of Year 6, we pride ourselves on ensuring our children are happy, capable and responsible young people who love learning as much as we love teaching them.

We are delighted to share our recent Ofsted report from October 2024. Please find the report here. Ofsted Report 2024.

In addition, we would also like to share our SIAMS inspection report from November 2025 where we received an outstanding judgement.
