School Ethos:
Recognising its historic foundation, the school will preserve and develop its religious character in accordance with the principles of the Church of England and in partnership with the Church at parish and Diocesan level.
The school aims to serve its community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice. It encourages an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith, and promotes Christian values through the experience it offers all its pupils.

Aims and Values
At Christopher Rawlins School, we aim to provide education for children of the local community that:

• will be based on Christian principles;
• will equip children for life and will help them to understand the world in which they live;
• will treat all children as individuals, recognising their special talents, needs and abilities;
• will enable all children to reach the highest possible standards through the setting of targets and the monitoring of individual progress;
• will develop the all-round character of children (moral, spiritual, cultural, physical and mental) so that values of responsibility, of self-discipline and of caring are all encouraged.

This education will take place in an environment that:
..•....is related to parents, the community and the Church;
..•....is supportive, stimulating and secure.
