A big warm welcome to our website

Oversands School offers a unique environment of high quality education, nurture and care to young people who have complex educational needs, communication difficulties and challenging behaviours. We have a comprehensive programme of support which ensures that individual needs are met to maximise the progress of each young person.

We are privileged to benefit from fantastic grounds within a truly stunning rural location. These contribute to making Oversands School a positive and happy place in which to live, work and learn. We make full use of the environment through a creatively designed curriculum and extended activities which offer all of our young people the opportunity to experience success.

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