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. The current purpose-built facility, opened in 1962, includes a large playing field and a wildlife area, reflecting the school’s commitment to outdoor learning and community engagement. The school maintains strong links with the local church and community, ensuring that it remains a central part of village life.

British values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect, are integral to the school's curriculum, particularly through Personal, Social, Health, and Emotional education (PSHE) and Religious Education (RE). This holistic approach aims to prepare students not only academically but also as respectful and responsible members of society.
