Summary
Christopher Rawlins Church of England Primary School, located in Banbury, Oxfordshire, serves a mixed-gender cohort of 260 pupils aged 3 to 11. As an academy converter, the school is part of the Oxfordshire Diocesan Schools Trust (ODST) and is committed to providing a broad curriculum enriched with extended opportunities, all within a framework of Christian values. The school's ethos is built around the principles of Courage, Responsibility, and Compassion, fostering a supportive environment where children are encouraged to develop resilience and independence.
Founded in 1589, the school has a rich history and has evolved from its origins as a Grammar School for Boys.

This holistic approach aims to prepare students not only academically but also as respectful and responsible members of society.
