Overbury is situated in the Cotswolds near Tewkesbury on the Worcestershire/Gloucestershire border. As a village school we have smaller classes and a family atmosphere which offers a personal approach to the individual needs of each child.
At Overbury we are passionate about achieving outstanding opportunities and learning for all through a warm and caring culture, which is grounded in our Christian Values and ethos. We believe in putting the needs of the children at the heart of everything we do and we are proud of our children and all that they achieve.
We strive for excellence in all aspects of learning, behaviour and well-being. By recognising that we can support the whole child, their family, and every adult in our school community we know that we can make a real difference.
