Welcome to Overdale Junior School.
Thank you for choosing to join our community at this exciting stage of your child’s education.
From lighting hearts and minds to shaping the future of our community, Overdale Junior School is proud to continue along the path of learning where responsibility is modelled, resilience is built and respect is lived.
We are a large, thriving school in Knighton, Leicester, offering a supportive and
ambitious environment for our pupils in Years 3 to 6. With around 486 children across 16 mixed-ability classes, we are proud of both our academic success and our strong focus on personal development. Located in a calm residential area, we are proud to share our site with Overdale Infant and Preschool, allowing us to build strong, supportive links across the primary years.
At the heart of everything we do are our core values: Respect, Responsibility and Resilience.
These values shape our culture, relationships and learning, helping our pupils to grow into confident, thoughtful and well-rounded young people who are ready for the next stage of their journey.
We believe that children achieve their very best when school and home work in partnership. Our “triangle of support” (between school, parents and the child) ensures that every pupil is supported to thrive both academically and personally.
