General School Information:

Offwell C of E Primary School is a Local Authority school, independent of any academy, federation or trust, with an inclusive approach to education, which is reflected in our admissions policy.

We offer care, support and engaging activities, set in the heart of Offwell, on the edge of The Blackdown Hills, serving the local villages and town of Honiton.

We know our children well, as we are a small community school and we work in close partnership with families to make all reasonable adjustments that may be required to identify and address additional needs.

Our ultimate aims are, we hope, the same as yours: for our children to be well, learn well and live well, as happy, fulfilled and considerate members of society.
