About Overleigh St Mary's Church of England Primary School

Overleigh St Mary's Church of England Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in October 2024, with behaviour and attitudes judged Outstanding. That single standout grade is the most informative metric in the school's data, suggesting a calm and purposeful atmosphere that underpins the rest of its work. The school has held a Good rating consistently across its two most recent graded inspections, the previous one coming in 2014. In the 2024 inspection, every other assessed area — quality of education, early years provision, personal development, and leadership and management — was also judged Good. This places Overleigh St Mary's among the majority of primary schools in Cheshire West and Chester, where only 14 out of 128 schools have achieved the top Outstanding rating. The nearest Outstanding alternative is Boughton Heath Academy, about 2.1 kilometres away, so for many local families this school represents a strong and reliable option.
