About Offwell Church of England Primary School

Parents considering Offwell Church of England Primary School will find a small, popular village school with clear signs of local demand. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 20 applications for just 12 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.67, and all 12 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. That level of competition suggests families in East Devon view it as a strong choice. While the Department for Education’s Parent View data isn’t included here, the oversubscription figures alone indicate a school that local parents actively seek out. With just 77 pupils on roll against a capacity of 104, the school isn’t bursting at the seams, but the gap between applications and places shows it’s comfortably popular. Headteacher Lorna Legg leads a Church of England primary that has held a Good rating from Ofsted since at least 2014, with its most recent graded inspection in November 2022 confirming Good across all five categories, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision.
