Welcome to St Christopher’s Cowley Primary School, a GOOD primary school in the heart of Cowley, Oxford. We are proud to be recognised for providing an exceptional education where every child is nurtured, valued, and encouraged to achieve their very best.

At St Christopher’s Cowley, our vision is to “have the courage to live life in all its fullness – to belong within our community, and to respect and love those around us.” We live this vision every day through nurture, learning, and growing together.

Our primary school in Temple Cowley, Oxford is a diverse, inclusive, and creative learning community, where children develop curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning. We believe every child should be inspired to reach their potential and experience the joy of lifelong learning.

As a two-form entry Church of England school, we also offer a nursery for 3 and 4 year olds, giving children the very best start in education. Our pupils learn in bright, modern classrooms surrounded by large green spaces and our own Forest School, providing outdoor learning opportunities that build resilience and teamwork.

We proudly serve our multi-cultural Cowley and Oxford community, offering a creative, broad, and exciting curriculum that celebrates cultural and religious diversity within the context of Christian belief and practice.

The best way to discover what makes us one of the best primary schools in Oxford and Cowley is to visit us in person. We warmly welcome prospective families to come and see our school in action.
