Overton Grange School
Sutton, SM2 6TQ · Sutton · secondary school
14th of 15 secondary schools in Sutton we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 4.4/10 against 826 of them, against 3.7/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 35.9 · 30 | 46% | 1.38 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.17 · 37 | 38% | 1.43 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 46.8 · 56 | 15% | 0.86 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 35.9% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 46.8, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.17 in 2023/24, meaning pupils made slightly less progress than peers nationally starting from the same point. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.7 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Duke of Edinburgh award, enter the Fourth Plinth competition, and visit London Zoo, Hampton Court Palace, the Science Museum, and various European locations.
Getting in. The school has 1120 pupils in a capacity of 1330, leaving 210 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils in raising their Progress 8 scores? What specific support is available for students aiming for higher grades in English and maths? How do the smaller class sizes impact individual teacher attention?
