Don't forget the sixth form induction parents evening is taking place tonight starting at 7:00pm at the school!

Open Evening

We are currently looking for parent/carer support for our Open Evening – please contact the school office if you are able to help. This will involve talking to prospective students and parent/carers at various points around the school, promoting PTA activities, answering questions from a Parent/Carer point of view, and issuing refreshments to student guides in the small canteen. Year 7 parent/carers – we know many are new but you too would be very welcome as our most recent ambassadors for Townsend. 
Many thanks in anticipation 
Ian Graham - Open Evening Coordinator 

YEAR 11 2015/2016 GCSE EXAMAINATION RESULTS

YEAR 11 2015/2016 GCSE EXAMAINATION RESULTS 
I thought it would be nice to send you a final message as Director of Learning for year 11. The last five years has been such a wonderful journey and it has been great to see your children develop academically and socially throughout those years. Thank you parents/carers for all the support you have given us over the years. I am sure, like me you feel immensely proud of the fantastic results achieved by your children. I am so pleased to see so many of them stayed here at Townsend Sixth Form where they will continue to receive the same care and support and so doubt, the same great outcome , at the end of year 13. I wish you all the very best. 
Mrs Maguire and the Year 11 Team. 

Abbey Service 2pm tomorrow

Our first Cathedral Service of the year is tomorrow at 2pm in the St Albans Abbey.  Please ensure students have a reading book with them for the day, and arrange with parents where they are being picked up/meeting after the service finishes at 3:00pm, as students will need to make their own way home after this.

WORSHIP AT TOWNSEND 
Our value focus for September is Respect “Treat others the same way you want them to treat you” Luke 6:31. Our values for each month will be shared in daily worship sessions. Students will have the opportunity to reflect on their meanings with a particular reference to how we lead our everyday lives.
