Melody in the mall!

Yesterday, our school community came together for an incredibly special musical showcase, and the atmosphere was absolutely electric!

This performance wasn't just a celebration of our students' immense creative talent—it was also a bitter-sweet moment of celebration. We were joined by our incredible staff alongside some of our returning Year 11 and Year 13 students for one final, brilliant "hurrah" before they embark on their next chapters!

At Overton Grange, music and creativity aren't just subjects—they are a core part of how our young people find their voice, build confidence, and shine. Seeing multiple year groups and staff performing side-by-side perfectly captures the warmth and family spirit of our school. To our leaving musicians: thank you for sharing your talents with us one last time.

Extra! Extra!

The summer edition of our school newspaper, The Overton Oracle, has officially arrived!

This issue is an incredibly special one as it features brilliant contributions from our newly recruited Year 10 journalists. From thought-provoking opinion pieces to deep dives into school life, our students have truly found their voices and showcased the incredible writing talent we have here at Overton Grange. At OGS, we believe in giving our young people real platforms to shine, express their creativity, and think critically about the world around them. Thanks must go to Mr Elliott for all his hard work this year as our Editor-in-Chief.

Seeing the students hard work in print is what our community is all about. Head over to our newspaper website (https://tinyurl.com/p45wmskm ) and support our amazing student writers!

But the adventure didn't stop at the school gates!

Yesterday was also a massive celebration of our students' hard work this year, with trips running all across London and beyond.

Our students had the absolute best time making memories together at:

Thorpe Park & Chessington World of Adventures for the thrill-seekers tackling the big coasters!
Battersea Park for some beautiful sunshine, outdoor games, and fresh air.
Gravity for high-energy active fun and bouncing!

Whether they were cracking codes in the science labs, pulling for their House team in the tug of war, or riding rollercoasters with their best friends, yesterday perfectly captured what makes Overton Grange so special. It’s about more than just great lessons—it's about building a warm, supportive community where our young people can shine, have fun, and truly belong. What a perfect way to celebrate the end of a fantastic school year. We are so proud of every single one of them!

What an absolutely unforgettable day we had yesterday for our Whole School Activities Day!

While some of our students were out and about, our school site was buzzing with energy, laughter, and some seriously friendly competition. A massive thank you to the Mrs Buxton and our incredible staff for putting together an action-packed lineup of challenges that kept everyone on their toes!

Here’s a look at what our students got up to on site:
Taskmaster – Budding scientists launched an epic egg-drop parachute challenge and engineered "desert-island" ropes with Mr Gorley! MasterChef – The food rooms smelled incredible as students raced the clock to whip up perfect omelettes and fajitas with Ms Harker! Minute to Win It – Fast reflexes and high energy took over the Undercroft in rapid-fire skill challenges led by Miss Dunne! Blockbusters – House teams pooled their wits to crack film-based mysteries and brain-teasing quizzes with Mr F**d!

To top it all off, the day culminated in an absolute classic: a whole-school House Tug of War!

The determination (and volume!) on the field was unmatched.

Meanwhile, our Sixth Formers headed out for an action-packed day of laser tag! It was fantastic fun, incredibly competitive, and the perfect way for them to let off some steam together.

From Sutton to Centre Court! 🎾

We are absolutely bursting with pride to share that six of our incredible Overton Grange students were selected as Ball Boys and Ball Girls for Wimbledon this year!

Getting selected is no easy feat—it came after months of intense, rigorous training led by the brilliant Mr. Potter. To have six of our students make the final cut is an unbelievable achievement.

Some major highlights from the tournament:

Brody was selected for the presentation party for the mixed doubles final right on Centre Court!
Ewan served as the bag boy for the Men’s Final, carrying the champion Jannik Sinner's bags off the court after his historic win!

Our students showed immense dedication, discipline, and teamwork on the world stage, perfectly representing the spirit of Overton Grange.

Science out in the wild!

Yesterday, our brilliant Year 12 Biologists spent a fantastic day at .

From analyzing incredible plant adaptations to collecting essential data for their practical endorsements, our students were incredibly focused, curious, and hard at work. There is nothing quite like taking learning outside the classroom to bring the textbooks to life!

We are so proud of how maturely they represented the school.
