As a Church of England school, Chawton CE Primary School has a distinctive Christian character which gives the whole school community an insight into the way in which matters of faith (and the Christian faith as practised in the Church of England in particular) can inform all aspects of personal development and social interaction.  The school's Christian character is based on core Christian values, the daily Collective Worship held in the school, and the teaching of Religious Education.

The school values its close relationship with the parish of Chawton. The Vicar is Reverend Lesley Leon who is closely involved with the life of the school and leads Collective Worship weekly as well as being a school Governor.  We regularly visit St Nicholas Church, in Chawton, throughout the year.

​​Our core Christian values are Love, Courage and Fellowship. These values are woven into our everyday learning and life at Chawton CE Primary. 

Our School is a Church School (Voluntary Controlled) and we have regular inspections of our 'distinctiveness and effectiveness' as a Church school.
