At ‘A’ level we offer all three Science subjects and our results are in the top 25%. This post is suitable for both newly qualified and experienced teachers.   

It has just been announced that Overton Grange School has won The Big Bang UK Young Scientists & Engineers Competition in the Intermediate Science category for 2018.  This is a fantastic achievement and reflects the hard work, enthusiasm and innovative approach to Science by our teachers and students.

We have recently started working in partnership with the University of Brighton Academies Trust. The school is fully committed to inclusion and has a Hearing Support Department.

They share good practice and support each other well to develop strong professional links. Middle leaders are actively engaged in the professional development of teachers and support those who are experienced or new to the profession.’  (Ofsted 2016)

Ofsted report

“Pupils who receive pupil premium funding, disabled pupils and those with special educational needs are making progress similar to their peers. The curriculum is diverse. A wide range of extracurricular activities allows pupils to explore diversity. This develops their spiritual, moral, social and cultural understanding. Pupils’ attendance is good. They generally behave well and are supportive towards each other. This enables all pupils, including those accessing the hearing impairment resource, to be included well in academy life.
