King Offa converted to Academy status in September 2012. We are one of sevens schools run by Aurora Academies Trust, four of which are based in East Sussex. The school is over one hundred years old and we are very proud of the history and heritage of King Offa. Whilst enjoying the charm and character of such a well-established school, we also always aim to be looking forwards and preparing our children for life in the twenty first century.

Our links with parents, carers, and wider family are very important to us. We know that educating children is our joint responsibility and we value the support of all our families.

We are proud of our educational outcomes and how well pupils learn here. However, we also make sure we offer pupils wider opportunities to develop their talents and interests so they grown into thoughtful, open minded individuals who make a positive contribution to the world around them.

We are a popular school and many year groups are full but we but still have spaces in some classes.
