The A217 is a road in London and Surrey in England. It runs north–south. It runs from Kings Road in Fulham, London, crosses the Thames at Wandsworth Bridge, then passes through Wandsworth, Earlsfield, Summerstown, Tooting, Mitcham, Rosehill and Sutton Common in Sutton, then Cheam. Then, widened as a dual carriageway, comes Belmont, a suburban district built on a slope rising southward. On the North Downs in Surrey the road then skirts past Banstead and through its late 19th century offspring villages particularly Burgh Heath and Kingswood, Surrey. It then crosses the M25 motorway at Junction 8, then, returning to single carriageways, passes through the castle town of Reigate. It then cuts through the green buffer farmland of two rural villages and terminates at the road network at Gatwick Airport's northern perimeter.

Overton Grange School

Overton Grange School is a mixed academy school in Sutton, Greater London, England. The school opened in 1997 with its 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. Students are divided into two bands - Overton and Grange - dividing between Grange learning Spanish language and Overton learning French language. Overton Grange School, or 'Overton' as it is more commonly known as, has four house groups: Amber, Emerald, Ruby and Sapphire. Each form, or tutor group, has between 25-30 students, all in one house and all in one band. The latest OFSTED report, following its January 2016 inspection, grades the school as "Good" in all categories. The report notes that "a culture exists whereby everyone ‘takes ownership of pupils’. Consequently, leaders have addressed well the areas for improvement since the last inspection". It has also been Inspected again in March 2019. Again it was graded "Good". 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.
