About the School
Townsend is a relatively small and very friendly school with a great atmosphere with circa 769 on roll including a Sixth Form. Townsend is rated good by Ofsted in all areas and outstanding in our SIAMS inspection report.

Townsend believes that educating the whole child is key to a successful education. The Bible-based vision of Love Your Neighbour underpins all we do. Students are taught to respect and care for themselves and each other, and Townsend’s supportive environment encourages them to make the most out of their journey through secondary school.
