King Offa Primary Academy is a two form entry primary school. This means that we have two classes in each year group in the school and a maximum number of 420 pupils.

If you are looking for a school place for your child and they are already school age or are currently attending another school, please contact the school office on 01424 211548. We are currently full in some year groups but we are always happy to welcome new pupils where we have space.

King Offa Primary Academy participates in the Local Authority’s In-Year coordinated admissions scheme. If you wish to apply for a place at our school outside the normal point of entry (ie not for Foundation Stage class), please follow these links to the council’s website:

Starting School for the first time in September 2025

The closing date for applications for the September 2025 intake is 15th January 2025.

We understand that choosing a school for your child is a very important decision; we would love to welcome you for a tour of the school so that you can see all that King Offa has to offer. We will very soon be posting a QR code and link to enable you to book a visit to our school.
