overdale junior school
Overdale Junior School is a multicultural academy school in the Local Authority
of Leicester, and is a friendly and welcoming place where we promote creativity
and the enjoyment of learning. 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 and the 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.
