Townley Grammar School

Welcome to Townley Grammar School, an academically selective and socially responsible girls’ school with a coeducational Sixth Form.

Education should inspire students to value learning for its own sake: to take joy from the pursuit of ideas and the struggle to understand. Townley students learn in a stimulating environment where teachers understand how to challenge and where the range of extracurricular opportunities is vast and varied. We are an exceptional school, rated outstanding by Ofsted, and highly commended by the DfE for our leading-edge character education provision.

It is through the pursuit of the arts, coupled with academic rigour that our students fully flourish; this is facilitated through our specialisms in the Performing & Visual Arts, as well as Maths and Computing.

It is our responsibility to draw out our students’ talents, to extend their potential and to develop their personal qualities. Our school values resonate in everything we do; our vision is of leading a learning community fostering academic, emotional and physical confidence. We aim to cultivate resilience, courage and compassion; to enhance communication skills; to embrace creativity, and to promote a progressive and outward-looking mentality so that our students are well prepared to make a real difference in their community.

SCHOLASTIC ENDEAVOUR

Hard work and dedication are essential for success and so is the development of a work ethic. Success in education as in sport is the result of successive small failures followed by ever-increasing challenges. Our students know that everything worth achieving is outside of their comfort zone. This learning challenge is what we term Scholastic Endeavour; our students are encouraged to engage in academic study at all levels. It is, in short, the capacity to be inspired to become the very best you can be.
