Overton Grange School is a mixed academy school in Sutton, Greater London, England. The school's opening year was 1997 with the first intake.

Planning for a new school in the area was identified in the 1980s. The capacity is approximately 1300 students. It has a sixth form college, opened in 2002.

It has a hearing support department and a greater number of students with disabilities because of the purpose-built facilities.

The school became an academy on 1 June 2011.

The latest OFSTED report, dated 4 December 2013, grades the school with 'Requires Improvement', down from 'Good' four years previously.[1]

The School provides 7 Years of Education for all students. Year 12 and 13 are the Sixth form. In order for a student to move into the sixth form, they require sufficient GCSE results from the Year 11 Exams at the end of the year. If they have not achieved these grades, then it will require them to search for another Sixth form for further education.
