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.

Townley Grammar believes that by working together, pooling our resources, expertise and assets, we are ready to make a difference to the lives and education of young people living locally. As well as strong strategic leadership, effective governance and the security of financial stability, we will establish access to a range of excellent central services and economies of scale through pooled resources.

Our vision is of leading a learning community fostering academic, emotional and physical confidence. Creating inspirational learners who have the courage to take risks and the wisdom to learn from their mistakes.

An education at Townley Grammar School is a privilege but also a great responsibility. Ultimately we are judged not just by our qualifications but by our qualities. These, together with first-class academic qualifications, enable students at Townley to become responsible citizens with a social conscience, able to lead others and act as change agents for a better society.

Everyone should have the opportunity to be extraordinary and through our bold and inspiring curriculum, we enable our students to let their dreams power their futures. By fueling the imagination of our students, we light a fire that will burn bright throughout their lives.
