About Overdale Junior School

We are situated on the southern edge of the city of Leicester in a mainly residential area. Our school campus is shared with Overdale Infant School, with which there is increasingly close liaison.

The school was opened in September 1956, with a new extension added in 2009. We have 16 mixed ability classes across Years 3 to 6 totalling around 480 pupils. Our children develop strong relationships with the teachers and peers through their learning and extracurricular activities.

We are fortunate to have a great deal of outside space at the school, including all weather playgrounds, a sports field and a wooded area and we are an established Forest School to make even more use of the green space around the school for learning opportunities.

Overdale Junior School works with children to:

-develop enquiring minds;
-teach them to reach high standards in all areas of the curriculum, according to their ability;
-be highly motivated learners;
-develop high self-esteem and self-respect;
-encourage them to extend and challenge their own self-belief;
-develop imaginative, creative and logical thinking;
-enable them to live in harmony in a diverse world;
-develop a healthy mind and body; and
-value the environment
