Oxton Primary School is  best known as Channelkirk Primary School and is situated in the village of Oxton located in the Scottish Borders.  Its name is taken from the Parish of Channelkirk. Built around the second half of the 19th century. The first head-teacher according to records, was Mr.H.M.Liddell who joined the school in 1866 and retired in 1912.

Channelkirk Primary School is one of the top schools in Scotland and to get your child enrolled here, if you stay outside the village, can be a challenge. There is always a great demand for child places, rightfuly so!  A lot of activities in the village are centred around the school and there is a sense of pride in the community, that  Oxton has such a wonderful school. There is a school roll of around 70 pupils and there is a Nursery here too. Mrs.Livingston is the current headmistress (2012) and shares her responsibilities in this role with Westruther Primary School. If you wish to contact Mrs.Livingston her details are as follows:
