Nursery – Y6 provision (age 2-11)
Respect, Responsibility, Resilience.
Our Vision
At Overdale Community Primary School, we are proud to offer a nurturing, inclusive, and high-quality education from the age of two, believing that every child deserves the best possible start in life. We are passionate about our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) offer, where our youngest learners thrive in a caring and stimulating environment that builds strong foundations for the future.
We are committed to developing the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally—guided by our core values of respect, responsibility, and resilience. These values shape everything we do, helping our children grow into confident, kind, and capable individuals with high standards of behaviour and a strong sense of self.
At Overdale, we understand the vital importance of speech and language in a child’s development. To support this, we are proud to have a dedicated speech and language therapist working on-site one day a week, helping to remove barriers and unlock every child’s potential.
We place reading at the heart of our curriculum, with excellent phonics teaching that equips children with the skills they need to read fluently, confidently, and for pleasure. We believe that a broad and balanced curriculum is key to helping children make sense of the world, explore their interests, and develop a deep understanding of global cultures, communities, and ideas.
As a recognised Healthy School, we promote physical health and mental wellbeing through a rich programme of sports and outdoor activities, encouraging all children to participate, stay active, and enjoy a healthy lifestyle.
Our “50 Things To Do Before You’re 11¾” programme ensures learning is exciting and memorable—offering unique experiences such as trips to the capital city, beach days, surf lessons, residential adventures, and performing arts opportunities that build character and confidence.
Set in our brand-new, purpose-built school with modern facilities and vibrant learning spaces, Overdale is a place where every child can thrive. We value our strong partnerships with parents and the Eastfield community, celebrating our shared success through events like summer fairs and Christmas celebrations.
Together, we nurture curious minds, kind hearts, and resilient spirits—preparing every child to succeed in life and make a positive difference in the world.
