Welcome to Oversands School

At our school, we are driven by three core values: CuriosityCreativity, and Challenge. These values form the foundation of everything we do, aiming to cultivate inquisitive minds, foster creative problem-solving, and push our pupils to reach their full potential. We believe that ambition lies at the heart of challenge, and we have high aspirations for every young person, helping them achieve their personal best and preparing them for future success.

The golden thread that entwines our values is connections between the pupils and us. We recognise the importance of fostering strong, supportive relationships as they are  critical to a child or young person’s personal and educational growth. From the moment our leaners arrive, we ensure that they are welcomed by people who understand their individual contexts and can offer the support they need to thrive.

We would be delighted to welcome you to our school to see for yourself our exceptional and inspirational environment.
