About Overstone Combined School

Just over two-thirds of parents who responded to Ofsted’s Parent View survey would recommend Overstone Combined School, with 69% saying yes. That’s a solid majority, though it leaves nearly a third who wouldn’t. The school is clearly popular enough to be oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 35 applications for 20 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 75. Only 14 of those applications were first-preference offers, suggesting that while many families put it on their list, it’s not always their top choice. The parent survey, based on 48 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, shows real strengths in happiness and safety: 85% of parents either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 92% felt their child is safe. However, concerns around behaviour and SEND support are more mixed — only 71% agreed the school ensures good behaviour, and just 42% agreed that children with special educational needs get the support they need.
