About King Offa Primary Academy

King Offa Primary Academy sits within the East Sussex local authority, in the Rother area, and is one of 144 primary schools of its type in the county. In the most recent local rankings, it placed 54th, putting it in the bottom half of schools when measured by the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. The top-performing peers nearby include St Peter and St Paul CofE Primary School, Catsfield Church of England Primary School, and Blackboys Church of England Primary School, all of which scored higher on the same metric. St Peter and St Paul, which holds an Outstanding Ofsted rating, is just 0.7 kilometres away.
