Hi there, my daughter is also starting this September, so I am also interested in any current views of the school.
I do have three friends whose daughters are there and both the parents and daughters are very happy with it. One of the girls is in the year 12 and told me at christmas that she couldn't think of anything bad to say about it so that's fairly good I think! One of the girls transferred from an independent school for the sixth forrn and is also very pleased with it. However, I'm sure there will be people who have not had such good experiences, but I have not met any!

I have a daughter at Townley in year 8. All I can say is that her experience thus far has been a very positive and happy one. The common "complaint" seems to be the homework but the Headteacher made it very clear early on in year 6 that the pressure of the homework very often comes from the girls themselves, spending more time on projects than they should be in their aim for perfection. My daughter has really grown in confidence since being at Townley. The atmosphere has been a very caring one with the older girls really looking out for the younger ones especially when they start in year 6. The only negative thing is that Mrs Hutchinson (HT) is leaving and a new Head is due to start after Easter. I hope your daughter settles in and has as similar positive experience as my daughter
